I reported a bug in the SVGA mode of Duke 3D before and now I have
narrowed it down and know exactly what is going wrong.  If you are
using an SVGA screen mode and you try to save the game while the
crosshairs are on, it will go to the save game screen but the bottom
status display won't disappear like its supposed to (and the weapon
display text will be wrong), and the crosshair will appear with the
wrong colors.  Then after you save it will write a corrupt save game
you won't be able to load at a later time and will put Duke 3D in an
unstable state (it will probably lock up soon afterwards).  This is
probably a fixable bug, so please try to fix it in 1.2.
