I'm not sure if you really want to fix this, as it would enable people to sleep their way past 9th level, but here is what I get:
[puff@condor eschalon_book_1_demo]$ padsp ./eschalon_book_1_demo
Setting sound driver: Default
appstub.linux signal handler 11
Machine is Core 2 Duo 6300/4GB ram/GF8600GT
/home is on lvm partition, on raid1 mirror of 2 320GB drives
(I doubt this is the issue, but it confuses cedega)
Fedora 8 - 64bit: kernel 2.6.23.9-85.fc8: nvidia 169.07-1.lvn8.x86_64
Game played fine windowed until I leveled to 9th.
