dethrace.ini not read on SteamOS / Steam Deck (corrupted path via SDL GetPrefPath)

[nomenklaturagustu-a11y]

Running dethrace v0.10.1 linux-x64 on a Steam Deck (SteamOS). The dethrace.ini file is not being read regardless of where I place it.
Using strace I found the program is trying to open the ini at a corrupted path:

openat(AT_FDCWD, "\360\377X\2628\177dethrace.ini", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

The path prefix is garbage memory instead of a valid directory. SDL GetPrefPath appears to be returning a corrupted value on this system.
I tried placing the ini in ~/.local/share/dethrace/, ~/.config/dethrace/ and the main game directory with no effect.

SDL2 version: 2.30.11

We fixes a similar issue in #581. Please try dethrace from git. (e.g. use the artifacts from GitHub actions)
