[Bug 218799] Re: If program startup fails, player data are lost.
Yes, confirmed. With rev 105, player data is not lost. Thanks!
Also, the stencil buffer bug which stopped etracer starting has been
fixed in the Fedora 9 X server too.

Bug description:
I upgraded to Fedora 9's mesa/Xserver, under which etracer will fail to start if the "stencil_buffer" option is true. I'm using the r300_dri driver.
Unfortunately, this caused all my high scores to be lost.
I had a quick look at the code, and the problem is that the highscores are saved in handle_system_error/winsys_exit, but they haven't been loaded yet if the failure is from winsys_init/setup_sdl_video_mode during program startup.
