Download doesn't work?


I checked some long time ago tested STE demos which had been reported to
have issues:

* Pixel Twin's Mental Hangover actually crashes Hatari:
   http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=11181

Valgrind says:
==4016== Invalid write of size 1
==4016==    at 0x40264DC: memset (mc_replace_strmem.c:602)
==4016==    by 0x80D18DC: Video_InterruptHandler_HBL (video.c:1942)
==4016==    by 0x810CB30: m68k_go (newcpu.c:1758)
==4016==    by 0x80B3A33: M68000_Start (m68000.c:241)
==4016==    by 0x80B4823: main (main.c:773)
==4016==  Address 0x4981d00 is 0 bytes after a block of size 614,400 alloc'd
==4016==    at 0x4023F50: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:236)
==4016==    by 0x80C2E81: Screen_Init (screen.c:517)
==4016==    by 0x80B46C9: main (main.c:585)

(when it gets 4 bytes past the screen buffer, Hatari crashes)


* Songs of the Unexpected gets double bus error after playing the first song
   in the main demo for a while:
	http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=22398


* Aura's Hifidelity dreams seems now fine:
	http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=996


* As does Hemoroids Necrosys (it's music is something truly
  horrible though):
	http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=14395


* Delirious 3 crashes on startup:
  http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=21347


* Once the actual demo starts:
  http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=15437

  Bad taste dies to:
  Your Atari program just did something terribly stupid:
  VoidMem_xlate($533b0aa5)


* Automation Banafisk seems to work:
  http://www.atarimania.com/demo-atari-st-bananfisk-demo_23369.html

* Parallax screen by Flash works now


* AFL pro fooball doesn't anymore freeze on startup:
  http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/hatari-devel/2010q2/002284.html

  But there's some screen update/color issue between the game halves
  (when running a demo game) when panels from top & bottom are scrolled
  towards screen center.


* GGN's Kuovadis game (Daleks clone) dies at startup after screen goes blank
  and it tries to scan disk for mods.  I'm not sure where I got the program,
  GGN's page seems to be missing a link:
