Game hangs on character creation

I can run tutorial/challenge games, but attempting to press G (generate new character) or X (fiddle with exploration mode) hangs the game outright (100% CPU usage).

Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.

Same problem here, on a pretty fresh installation of Debian 8.

Same problem here. Ubuntu 12.04 64bit binary as well as Debian 8 and 6.0.5 (64 bit). Both I can play challenge or start a tutorial, but game hangs with 100% CPU usage when I try to 'G'enerate a character.

Last Steam release runs perfectly.

(Running Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela.)

Awesome!

Any chance of maybe a 2.1.0.1 (2.1.0 Beta 2?) mini-release soon? ;) I can always boot up Windows 10 to playtest as well, but I figure half the value of all the players here who use Linux is to identify OS specific bugs.

I think we will release R66 soon, but first we need to fix some other serious bugs as well (e.g. the JSON problem with shifting dungeons).

Still hangs for me in r66 :(((

Edit: this is the 64bit ubuntu version on Mint 17.1 and Ubuntu 12.04.2 both.

In case it's helpful, I noticed an odd thing: when the game hangs, all input starts going to the terminal. (You can see this if you ctrl+z to suspend - anything you type after "G" will be there on the command line.) You can type commands and they'll run. Interestingly, if you kill the adom process, it won't die until you suspend it and resume it again.

It seems the fix for R66 was incomplete, it is now finally fixed in R68 (tested on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS).

The problem was caused by different cursor handling behavior in the curses libraries.
