This really struck me hard since I'm doing really good in LCS, but I decided to get rid of one of my ex-sleepers by having him steal a car, get a lab coat and a crowbar and perform a suicidal attack against the nuclear plant. When stealing the car, the cops (two officers) noticed him, a chase ensued, and he managed to get away from both of them during the first round. And then came a segfault. Luckily my save wasn't ruined, but I thought I'd let you know anyway.

EDIT: Happened again. Chases on foot with ex-sleepers seem to ruin something.

I reproducibly get a segfault from this save.dat on Linux x86-64 after going to University District, Broccoli Forest Vegan Coop and moving one step towards the door.

Backtrace:

I assume it has something to do with the fact that Jeffrey still seems to lug around the hostage?

Okay, here's a workaround that at least fixes the crashing, no idea why the hostage/corpse didn't get properly dumped in the first place.
