#6594 WME: Bickadoodle - Assertion on climbing the mountain

ScummVM 1.7.0git (May 30 2014 18:48:56)
Features compiled in: Vorbis FLAC MP3 RGB zLib MPEG2 Theora AAC FreeType2 JPEG PNG

When ascending the mountain i get an assertion on the scene switch:
assertion "_str && idx >= 0 && idx < (int)_size" failed: file "./common/str.h", line 187

I get a black screen when that assertion happens, the background music runs along
(from the savegame just move upwards)

Happens in both 1.0 and 1.1 versions of the game

Bickadoodle (unknown version) (Windows) --> version 1.1 (see https://sourceforge.net/p/scummvm/bugs/6584/ )

Thanks.

Funnily, I can reproduce under Linux but not under Windows.

There is something wrong with path normalization, which makes this related to #7088 and #7068.

OTOH this appears to be a game script bug: playMusic() is apparently called with filename ""

Your committed for path_util.cpp works, no more crash.
