Yes, I asked Nuage last year to include more options.  Until then I used
a save game where the human player was about to loose and called
"glob2 --nox" from inside a bash for loop.

Not again.  Options that are not used become bugs really fast in glob2.
(This will happen to Stephs critters too.)

OK, I can't fix this because my valgrind isn't working.
You can change line 132 to:

  minimap(globalContainer->runNoX ? 0 :
globalContainer->gfx->getW()-128, 0, 128, 14, Minimap::HideFOW)

I don't know whether 0 is a good value.
Someone else has to fix this, or we have to wait until gentoo uses a
newer valgrind.
