Crashes with some talking heads
These are relatively rare - I can chat with both talking heads in question quite a lot, but specific dialogue options will reproducibly crash.
Running gog data files with a binary compiled from source on Linux Mint 21.2, patched with that compat_resolve_path(basePath);

First one - the Enclave guy one can get from the Gecko Reactor Computer: SLOT08 - Gecko Plant.zip Get talking head: Use computer, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, X, Y, Z, 2, 2, 2 Any option that makes the guy frown - e.g. 1, 1

Second one - Broken Hills, Marcus. Do the francis/jacob conspiracy quest far enough, and find the missing people in the underground. Report one of them to Marcus, then when you try to report the other, crash. Similar log, last entry a "Choosing fidget".
Note - with Fallout 1 CE and the Tandi dialogue there's similar crashes - it's actually impossible to exhaust her dialogue without crashing, using the release binary. Compiled from source, however, there's not a single crash in any talking head dialogue in the entire game. Seems like something similar was already fixed in fo-ce-1, but since most files have no blame history (I suspect gdialog.cc in fo1, game_dialog.cc in fo2), no blindly migrating some diff...
