Happened when I clicked to look at the lady in the park. Happens everytime I do so.
( after a savegame and restore ), It worked before

Hmm, that game was made with quite an old version of AGS, so it's hard to tell what the problem might be. You could try asking the game author if they've had any other reports of the problem?

I made the game, and several people have noticed the bug. I looked at it yesterday and it may be related to the woman's answer being a global message located in the main script file instead of in the room file. I changed that now, and the new version will be available from the same download site very soon. Another possibility is that the old AGS-version I used to make the game is in some areas incompatible with windows XP (some people have had problems running the game in Windows XP). For future games I will use the newest available version and cross my fingers for compatibility. Funny thing also, that the bug doesn't appear at every session with the game - maybe it's triggered by a certain chain of action.

As this is the only bug found (so far) in my first game, I'm still very satisfied. Another thing is that the bug doesn't prevent you from completing the game - simply don't give anything to the lady in the park (she doesn't need it), and have another try at the game.  Or start over if the game keeps crashing. Thanks for the report.
