Still on this one, this time it's an Archmage who just did a Flame when the screen started to flicker. But this time I figured out how to attach gdb to the running game process and got a stack trace, which is attached. syslog.txt is also attached.

FRAPS works a lot better anyway, but what I meant was I can't just replicate the problem at will.
I'd have to record hours of play to catch it, and I doubt it would prove anything anyway.

Intel q6600 2.4Ghz, nvidia 8800gtx, 4G RAM.
Default Win7 nvidia drivers. I had trouble with the latest download from nvidia, but these work fine for everything else I'm doing.
And yes, not quite two and a half minutes of FRAPS video of starting up a new Archmage resulting in the "no @ showing" bug is a little over half a gigabyte of avi file. Now that isn't compressed much if at all, I could probably do a lot better with x264 but I haven't compiled that on MinGW yet.
