T2D on Linux doesn't start with spacescroller.

If I start a release build of T2D.bin [ie, the one in the box, or a homebrew one], it goes into the normal editor screen fine.

OTOH, if I try to start it with spacescoller, it basically stops dead. [ie, ./T2D.bin -game spacescroller or just ./T2D.bin spacescroller].

If I strace it, it goes into an infininte loop with gettimeofday then a nanosleep [according to top, the cpu usage is nigh-on nil; it's spending more time sleeping than it is finding the time]. There's a trace here:
icculus.org/~chunky/stuff/t2d.bin.trace.gz
It does go past the first {many many} gettimeofdays, so keep scrolling :-)


If I rebuild with BUILD=DEBUG, then when it starts [after less than a second] with a fatal error:
"GuiControlProfile: unable to find specified profile (GuiInputCtrlProfile) and GuiDefaultProfile does not exist!"
with the window title "Fatal: (gui/guiTypes.cc @ 299)"

Clicking cancel throws a SIGSEGV, but then, so does TGE in the same position. There's an strace of that here [salient is everything up to, but not including, the SIGSEGV, I believe]:

I'm running GCC 3.3.4 and gnu ld 2.3.2. This is a mostly stock slackware 10.0 box, with the nvidia drivers and kernel 2.4.29. It's dual screen, and this happens on both screens. It still happens after I wipe all the .dsos lying around.
