Bug description:
  [SRU]
  When attempting to run doomsday 1.15.8-3 on Ubuntu 17.04 it immediately segfaults.

  This (and a separate segfault which happens when attempting to start a
  new game, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
  bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=863536) are both resolved in Debian with version
  1.15.8-5. It has been synced to Ubuntu Artful so the issue should be
  resolved for future releases, but is still present in 17.04.

  
  [Impact]
  doomsday 1.15.8-3 on Ubuntu 17.04 currently fails to start.

  [Testcase]
  This is twofold due to the two segfaults.

  (As a prerequisite, install a package with game data, for instance `doom-wad-shareware`)
  1. Run `doomsday` to start the "game launcher"
  Test A: the program should not segfault.
  2. From the list of available games, pick one, for instance DOOM shareware.
  3. Start a new game of Doom (Press escape, then select New game -> Single player -> Knee-deep in the dead -> Hurt me plenty.
  Test B: the game should not segfault.
  4. Run around in the game for a while.
  5. Have fun :)

  [Regression Potential]
  The program is currently crashing instead of starting, so I'm not sure how much it can regress.
