I'm an idiot

Um, since it's statically compiled and includes the WXWindows library, that can't be it. I realized this on the way home from the library Thursday. But, yes it's good to know that the binary works... under Puppy Linux. I should try and see why it segfaults under Ubuntu.

Hmm. This is something I ought to revisit then. Thanks for this additional information.

The statically-compiled graphical Linux Hugo works fine under Puppy Linux, so it looks like it's just a matter of a different WXWindows library, or something.

Cripes. Who the hell wrote that thing, then, anyway?

Just a quick update: in Necrotic Drift, I use the word seance with an accented e, and that appears to segfault hewx as well.

(I think the exact word I am using is "s\'eance". )

Sorry, sorry - yes, I meant 243.

Just a note: I found out that FoD was crashing on Linux, and the reason was that I was using characters like #241, which is this squiggly "o" with a line coming out of it.

I don't even know if what I did was supposed to be supported. The character looked like crap, in retrospect, so I absolutely do not need to go back. Just posting this in case anyone in the future tries the same.
