I have tried the editor a bit more and found out that it is an emergency save that crashes it. The emergency save tries to save the map with an altitude of -1 instead of the 0 to 3 range. Now that I have hardcoded an altitude of 0, the editor doesn't crash anymore but exits on failure. But the logs are complete now.

I found two ways to make it fail: "Failed to add node to world" when using the "Building" button and "Palette creation failed, soldier has invalid animation" when using the "Mercs" button.

The detailed way to reproduce them follows.

1) The "Building" button.
Load a map. Click "Building" button, click "Place furniture" (the table button). The first item of the list is automatically selected ('old_furn.sti', subindex 0). Place it anywhere and the editor exits. I have tried several items and maps (A9, L1, Hospital, Hicks, Estoni ...). It always fails.

This is the log displayed by stracciatella:
(I removed the messages that appeared before I tried to place the item)

ERROR: caught unhandled exception:
Failed to add node to world
Creating an emergency savegame failed.
Please report this error with a description of the circumstances.

2) The "Mercs" button:
Add a creature, click several times on the arrows to change its type from bloodcat to anything else. The editor exits. It doesn't always happen: it failed 5 times on the 14 tries I've done on the Hicks (F10) map.

Its log:
(I removed the messages that appeared before I tried to change the creature type)

ERROR: caught unhandled exception:
Palette creation failed, soldier has invalid animation
Creating an emergency savegame failed.
Please report this error with a description of the circumstances.
