Description Scott Mansell 2014-07-17 08:38:12 UTC 
When a Haptic compatible joystick is connected, calling SDL_Quit causes the haptic subsystem to corrupt the SDL_hapticlist linked list.

The next time SDL_HapticOpenFromJoystick is called, SDL segfaults trying to read the linked list.

Looks like the bug was introduced in this change: http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/3b7bb407fcf7

Does this bug still happen with the latest Mercurial revision of SDL?
Comment 2 Tillmann Karras 2014-08-11 06:56:31 UTC 
Multiple users (including me) have tried the latest Mercurial revision and say it's fixed.
