Latest openarena package in ubuntu (1.36+u20160122+dfsg1) crashing?

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ioquake3/+bug/1651561?comments=all

Any ideas? it just started crashing as of version

ioquake3 (1.36+u20160122+dfsg1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

the one before that

ioquake3 (1.36+u20151017+dfsg1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

works great. The crash is a segfault in CL_SetCGameTime () at code/client/cl_cgame.c:1001

Also getting a crash, latest snapshot is busted.

cl_cgame.c corresponds to

cl.serverTime = cls.realtime + cl.serverTimeDelta - tn;

I don’t see how access to these static structures, “cl” and “cls” could result in a segfault

this is most likely an issue with OpenArena or ubuntu’s packaging of ioquake3. Neither of which the ioquake3 team has control over. The version is from 2016 and we are in 2017. A newer version of ioquake3 may resolve the issue. Perhaps someone else has had this issue with OA can help.

The problem also occurs with the latest version “from 2017” from git. If
I rollback to the earlier ioquake3 packages but keep the openarena
packages the same, it works, which leads me to believe its not a problem
with openarena data.
