Can you attach your savegame to this bug so I can reproduce it here? Just zip up the $HOME/.local/share/Psychonauts folder (there isn't any personal data in there, except your save games and config file).
Thanks,

I'm also having significant stability problems with test-06032012 during the brain tank battle. In the hopes that it may prove useful I've attached my profile as well.
The two errors I've seen so far during the battle are "smallbin double linked list corrupted" and a segmentation fault.
However, for me these are not freezes which require SIGKILL - they just crash to desktop. I'm running a Radeon HD 5770 with Catalyst 12.4 on Ubuntu 11.10 AMD64.
I got an entirely new crash report, see below. This time I killed the tank and had to fight against the brain alone.

Same problem here. I can usually get about halfway through the tank's health bar before crashing. It usually crashes to the desktop for me, though occasionally it freezes and I have to kill -9 it.
I'm getting the double linked list error, as well as the random freezes. Psychonauts will crash sometime during the tank battle.
I fear this is the end of Psychonauts for me. The random crashes can be mitigated by saving all the time just in case the game crashes again, but saving during the tank boss-battle doesn't save your progress against the tank. Reloading a save made during the tank battle will always load the start of the battle, and crashing is 100% guaranteed to happen before you can even get the tank down to 50% of its health. I can't get past this point in the game…
I had a similar problem which appeared to be audio related. I managed to get through the tank battle by changing some audio settings: https://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5634
Hopefully that will work for at least some of you.

I had the same problem as you, double linked error and so on. I tried different solutions that did not work like changing the Audiosetting.ini file. I was finally able to pass the tank by launching Psychonauts with the -nosound option.

I can confirm that using the -nosound option avoids the crash related to the double linked error, although playing without sound is certainly not preferable.

Update: I was able to get through this level with the following changes to my AudioSettings.ini file:
HardwareAccel=false
UseEAX=true
PacketSize=100
I think there's no .local/share/Psychonauts/AudioSettings.ini by default so I copied one from Rüdiger's profile and updated:
HardwareAccel=false
UseEAX=false
PacketSize=100
No combination of the above works, although it's definitely a sound related issue because I am yet another person who used below to play without crashes:
./Psychonauts -nosound
For the time being I played this part without sound and watched the cut scene on youtube - the most messed up walkaround ever... But it does the trick. :)
(I'm adding this comment to many bugs that this fix might apply to...sorry if you see it multiple times or it doesn't _actually_ fix your issue.)
Here is a new test build, please try it and report back. It's a 2.1 megabyte
download, so you don't have to redownload the whole game again.
This is meant to fix crash bugs mostly. We still have rendering issues, etc to sort out. If this didn't fix your issue, please report it on this bug. If there are still other unrelated issues, please file a new bug or add yourself to the CC list of one of the other bugs. Here's the open bug list if you want to check for others with the same problem:
https://bugzilla.icculus.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&bug_status=__open__&product=Psychonauts
Steam users: you'll get this through Steam shortly.
Linux users, download this...
http://treefort.icculus.org/psychonauts/psychonauts-linux-0.3-patch.tar.bz2
...and unpack it. Overwrite Psychonauts and libSDL-1.2.so.0 with it. This works with either of the first two builds from HumbleBundle.com.
Mac users that aren't using Steam, download this...
http://treefort.icculus.org/psychonauts/psychonauts-mac-0.3-patch.tar.bz2
...double click it, and run the patcher program it produces.
We'll do a more formal build once we get some feedback.
