[r168] r_smoothlighting causes fatal crash

Included in the zip is my compiled version of the executable, with the MAP file, and the crash report. You may not need it.

Suspected function is wallscan_striped, in r_segs.cpp. It appears that when the GL renderer is enabled, it does not like this CVAR enabled. This problem may appear elsewhere in the code, as well.

No, crashing function is side_t::GetLightLevel, which coincidentally is the only place in the code where smoothlighting is used.

Ah, ok. I'm still trying to figure out how to read crash dumps and MAP files.

If you want to find the function look for the latest 'call' that might result in the address where it crashes and then look up that value in the map file.

Thank you, Graf.
