Celestia

Running 1.5.1 on Slackware 12.1, KDE interface.

This really is something I stumbled on, not really a practical issue.

I accidently pressed the 'k' key continuously instead of some other key,
and Celestia crashed on me.

This is repeatable.

The time indicator goes:

10x slow
100x slow
1000x slow
10,000x slow
100,000x slow
,000,000x slow (??)
10,000,000x slow
100,000,000x slow
,000,000,000x slow (??)
10,000,000,000x slow
100,000,000,000,000x slow
<crash>

Running through gdb with enable-debug=ll reveals nothing (application
closed normally).

Reading the code I see that the time reduction should be stopped if <
MinimumTimeRate (static const double MinimumTimeRate = 1.0e-15) - but it
appears not to happen.
