[Robotics] Blender 2.49 Game Engine crashes

[Campbell Barton]

Normally the best thing to do when you have a blender crash is to
identify if its a OpenGL driver problem or not.

With the tar.bz2 downloaded from blender.org you can start blender
with Mesa software OpenGL which wont use hardware acceleration and is
goodf for testing, You can start blender player with this command from
a terminal...

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib  blenderplayer  ~/someBlend.blend

If this works without crashing then its likely a graphics card/driver
bug. NVidia's generally work best with blender I find, ATI and Intel
are more problematic on linux.
