Summary 08615: mk4: Mortal Kombat 4 access violates running a benchmark, with -str 80 -norc -nothrottle switches
Description Attempting to run video and sound benchmarks (vs. a simple -bench) I used the following command and see Mortal Kombat 4 access violate before the number of emulated seconds elapses. Interestingly, it doesn't AV if I use 60 emulated seconds. Be sure to use -norc to take any errant mame.ini settings out of the mix.

mame mk4 -str 80 -nothrottle -norc
c32boot.bin ROM NEEDS REDUMP

Steps To Reproduce 1. Use the following commandline on x64 mame.exe.
2. mame mk4 -str 80 -nothrottle -norc
3. Observe abrupt early end to the benchmark with an access violation, as above.
Additional Information Using the -bench switch for the same amount of time does *not* AV it.
mame mk4 -bench 80 -norc

Unable to confirm, no crash here.

Your dump is missing the symbols so there's no clue what caused it.

It crashes on my release builds starting with 0.252 - but for me it either shows nothing and drops to console/terminal window.
I tried the daily builds I have and none of them seem to trigger a crash at all. The immediate conclusion is there may be a GCC issue - or something uninit'd - which started showing with the 0.252 release build.

May also be something global changed during the extended dev time between 0.251/0.252, but that would take a bit more investigation.

I downloaded .254 mamedev.org release and put the .exe and the .sym file in my MAME directory per Robbbert and tried to repro this issue, and it *didn't* repro.
I moved the .sym file out of the directory and then it AV'ed again.

I don't know enough about programming to know what the presence or non-presence of the sym file interacting would have.

This could be something un-init'd or some other weirdness.
Acknowledging for now.
