Unangband 0.6.4-pre2 for OS X

[Daedric]

NOTE: Sorry, the thread title is wrong, (copy/paste error on my part) this post pertains to the "Unangband-0.6.4-pre4-osx" release, NOT pre2...

Unangband seems like a great variant! However, I cannot get past 1st level, the app crashes while leveling.

Mac OS 10.5.8 Intel

1) Start with a new game ( novice style , all Chars get set to 15, etc )
2) Travel to the Farm from Hobbiton
3) Kill monsters ( either on the Farm or in the dungeon there )
4) When leveling to 2, you'll be prompted to select two characteristics to improve. I selected STR and DEX.
5) After selecting them, you'll get a confirmation request.
6) Press 'y'

Result: App freezes for a few, then crashes. Stack Crawl below.

Note: I tried downloading the source, but the mac target / instructions do not work. I get errors when compiling from the command line.

To compile a
debug build on mac:

$ make -f Makefile.osx OPT=-g
If you've already built the optimized build, make clean first.

To debug on mac:

$ cd .. ## to angband root directory
$ gdb Angband.app
OR
$ gdb Angband.app/Contents/MacOS/angband ## I think.

Odd. I develop on an admittedly older OSX platform and I've not seen this behaviour. Nonetheless I'll add it to the bug list and debug.

Edit: I can't see anything in check_experience that a set of very innocuous looking format statements would cause a crash over. I suspect I'm going to have to get either some more detail from a debug build, or release another version and have you try that as well...
