Segfault while loading a game

DaleStan might remember my random off-topic "useless bug report", but anyway, I've investigated it further using the stable version 0.5.0, and it turns out it is this GRF file that causes the problem (attached). The GRF file must be loaded before loading the game from the main menu. Loading the GRF file and then applying changes while already in a game will not cause the crash. So far, it's happened for every savegame I've tried.

Fixed in r8955, so you should be able to play the games with the next nightly.
For 0.5.0 the workaround would be to set the GRF info and GRF name using action 8 in the GRF itself.

Huh? That grf already has an action 8.

Dalestan, is my understanding of GRFs correct when I say that the GRF is not according to specifications?
This as the description does not have a 00 termination.

It's not correct, true, but it is present, and (for better or for worse) accepted by the reference implementation.
