When fighting a stone giant in the HMV the game crashed and said something about an "invalid target (-2)". It made the save, but it happens again everytime I reload - or rather when the Stone Giant targets me to attack (either with rocks or in melee).
Anyone knows what to do about it? I'm not fast enough to kill the giant, as the game crashes when we exchange hits, and I don't have any wands to kill him with.

Exchange him into a cat :) via PoEX. Confuse + Teleport.
Heh. I just don't know what you can do, for I haven't seen your char. And you don't give much details.

Acctually, nothing. THe char is a stil-illiterate 10th level gnomish barbarian. I was just finishing the start with him (go to SMC and go down).
Guess I'll have to leave him in the loop of eternal crashing :/

Hmm.. If the game crashes in both meele and rock-hurling cases, then it's bad. If it weren't so (i.e. meele crash only), I'd advice runing away. :)

Running kinda works, since the giant gets stuck in webs, but I have heaps of stuff to sell in the HMV, and herbs to get back to! Dammit! Why does this game torment me so?! The next char died over a grave. Why? I wanted to see if the un-ID'd wand is a wand of digging. It indeed was a WoD - Wand of Death. And me with no resistance.
Thank the powers that be, I can get drunk today ;P

You can go to CoC, and return later. Herbs in Big Room, mayhap even a universal shop before Dwarftown. And Waldenbrook will certainly buy everything, if you don't want him to restock. So, it's not all that bad after all.

It happened to me once before What I did was targeting other stuff for awhile. Not sure if it works for you though.

It's not me, that's getting the invalid target, it's the Stone giant. Everytime he targets me, the game crashes. That was... annoying. Enough for me to delete the save game :P

Hm... Cast Farsight onto yourself so you outrange him then have a companion/farmiliar/slave/alarmed monster attack him. But you deleted the save file already so.. :)
