It just happened and oddly doesn't create a core file. It's basically a while loop to run mamer on crash (line 4 being the bin/mamer).

Here is what happened though (again during open of the tourney when people are still joining).

./runmamer.sh: line 4: 8758 Segmentation fault (core dumped) bin/mamer
Mamer crashed with exit code 139. Restarting ..

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: Looking up more info seems that this is a Segfault 11 (in linux land) which is a memory access problem. Will try compiling it again using valgrind to get more info.

It is indeed very weird that it says 'core dumped' while there is no code dump. Are you sure you looked for it in the right directory (perhaps it changed its current directory after startup)? Or could there be a problem with writing permission in those directory, because they are owned by another user as you were when starting up mamer?
