Summary: 2.0.4 crashes on startup

Initial Comment:
When I start BZFlag 2.0.4, the game crashes before the
menu is shown.
That means that I can see the bar "All  Chat  Server 
Misc", but then the game crashes.

Software:
Gentoo Linux
SDL 1.2.8 (I think BZFlag may use SDL, but I'm not sure)
glibc 2.3.5
Xorg 6.8.2

I have an Intel 8x0 chipset with the built-in graphics
accelerator.


The exact error message is: "*** glibc detected ***
free(): invalid pointer: 0x08affd7c ***"

GDB doesn't show anything spectacular or helpful;
although I have compiled BZFlag with debugging info:

I hope you fix this bug soon so I can enjoy the new
features of 2.0.4!
