Fwd: SDL2 applications crashing with SIGBUS

Hello

For tyr-quake, I tried the pre-compiled package here:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/games/tyrquake/README.html
which also needs at least the shareware data:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/games/quakedata/README.html
It successfully shows the splash screen, and if I hit ESC fast enough
I can get into the menu, but it crashes when trying to start a new
game.

Chocolate-Doom I compiled from source (chocolate-doom-3.0.0.tar.gz),
"./configure", "make", and "make install" worked without issues.
https://www.chocolate-doom.org/wiki/index.php/Downloads
Also requires game data:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/games/doom1/README.html

Dune Legacy I also compiled from source (dunelegacy-0.96.4-src.tar.bz2 )
http://dunelegacy.sourceforge.net/website/downloads.html
Also requires original game data, but is not freely available.

I was also expecting the issue to be in the game source itself, which
is why I find the gdb reference to "XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat () from
/usr/pkg/lib/libX11.so.6" confusing.

Best regards
Elias
