I don't know about the above example, but my game (which is of course significantly larger than Digesteroids) will exhibit this exact same bug running from the compiled binary. My first encounter with this bug came from users telling me when they clicked "Order Game" from the game's main menu (which calls EndGraphics, OpenURL("http://basiliskgames.com") and then End), the game hung, or Firefox hung, or simply nothing happened and the program just exits. I have confirmed this over and over, and you can certainly download the Linux demo yourself to see it happen but I can assure you it is identical to what happens in the Digesteroids sample.

Odd, I know. It really seems to be linked to program size as several other people have also noted.
