Linux 64-bit DoD stops writing savegames randomly

    I'm experiencing a very annoying problem, about once every 2 hours of gameplay but in a manner that I cannot reproduce deterministically.

    The game works fine, and it saves and loads games fine, but after a random point in time I guess it just stops writing the savegames to disk, because neither autosaves nor manual saves (Save & Continue, as I run it without permadeath) seem to be kept if I quit the game and load it again. Virtually every time I quit and relaunch the game later my last savegame and autosave will be there, only from an earlier point in time than I left the game with, losing anything from a few minutes to an hour. It happens almost always I play DoD, I almost always load a game from way before I saved it last.

    Running DoD 1.1.4 on Debian Sid GNU/Linux AMD64 kernel 3.12 with the latest Steam. Steam Cloud disabled. Happens both with the 32 bit and the 64 bit version, launched directly or from Steam, with Steam online or offline.

    I can provide any information on my system and have technical skills.
