Super Tux Kart 0.9 crashing on Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon?

[Cosmic Penguin]

I have recently found this problem after upgrading to Mint 17.2. It looks like that Super Tux Kart 0.9 have been crashing rather randomly when I click onto various selecting buttons. This can be reproduced with almost 100% certainty when I tried to change the program's screen resolution - it would show a black triangle and the program simply disappears without any mentioning of a log file.

This problem does not happen in Super Tux Kart 0.8.1.

My system info is shown in the picture - I'm using NVIDIA's driver version 352.

Anyone knows if this could be reproduced on other LM 17.2 machines, and how could this be fixed?

0.9 hasn't made it into the Software Centre yet so I wouldn't expect an uber stable release at the moment. I've run 0.9 on Ubuntu just fine with an open source driver without any major problems (I use an AMD card). I did have a few problems on Mint because the open source driver was outdated and even when I ran the game on minimum settings there were still major display issues.

0.9 has a lot of nice bells and whistles, but the program is a lot more resource-hungry as a result. I'll stick with 0.8.1 until I get round to upgrading my machine (still on 32-bit with 2GB RAM).
