If you can consistently replicate this this also try running whith the -y_bug_fix cmdline option. That will activate the previous hack that supposedly fixed the y-bug issue. If it doesn't ever crash then let me know.

I tried adding that extra command line and it's just crashed again after a Y-key press, so it could be something new. :(

Doesn't crash for me, but then it never did before either. Last time it was a Windows-only bug so I don't know if it's still related to that or not. The Windows code that caused the problem was completely replaced but something new did have to going in there instead.

Try http://icculus.org/~taylor/fso/nightly/20060513-win32.rar and when/if it crashes post the errlog.txt file.

Sorry for not getting back to this for ages... I haven't run a release version of the SCP in quite a while. :)

Unfortunately, I can confirm the crash on both Win98 and WinXP. Running with -y_bug_fix eliminates the crash, but it also makes it nearly impossible to target debris.
