Wesnoth suddenly crashes on loading a save

[ShadowWalker]

Today Wesnoth started crashing, when I click the load button in the main menu, the game also crashes when I start a new campaign after the opening dialogue is finished. Yesterday everything worked without any problems and neither the game version nor the operating system changed, so I have no clue where to look for the cause.

I would be thankful for any insight into what the problem is.

Here my system information:

Okay it turns out the problem was the save index, that somehow got corrupted. Wesnoth rebuilding the file after I deleted it resolved the issue.

Me feeling too, I think that sometimes happens (or because playing Wesnoth about more than one hour)
