Summary MESS-specific 06326: megadriv, 32x and clones, some segac2.c sets: Selecting machine and game via softlist though internal menu results exception/crash
Description In the Genesis, NTSC driver, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 crash to desktop. When Sonic 2, World Rev. A is run with Mega drive, Europe it succeeds. Mega Drive, Japan crashes. When Sonic 3 is run with any driver, it crashes. This may affect more Genesis/Mega Drive games, but I'm getting CTDs on various Sonic sets.

I am using HLSL with NTSC processing turned on. Turning off HLSL does not help, though.
Steps To Reproduce Launch Sonic the Hedgehog games with various Mega Drive/Genesis drivers.
mame genesis flicky should be enough to verify exception
Additional Information Likely GCC 6.1.0 related

Okay, it happens with Alisia Dragoon (USA) on Genesis, USA NTSC as well. There seems to be a problem with the driver.

I am launching these games from the GUI through the software list picker.

I also checked the games with Mame 0.175. They work in that version, so the regression is at 0.176.

I can confirm with those using GCC 6.1.0 only (mamedev.org's release) and those who are using GCC 5.4.0 or earlier don't seem to be having this issue.
It appears to affect most all megadriv.cpp drivers to various extents.
