Hey all, I posted about this yesterday to the wine NG, but I've discovered some new info about my trouble. I downloaded DM Genie[1] and the install works more or less flawlessly from Wine. When I run the installed executable, though, problems ensue. The splash screen shows up and proceeds to load a number of modules/data, but then stops around 75% and my HDD starts thrashing (kswapd starts working overtime) and response becomes very sluggish. I did a relay trace and it looks like this is due to the program falling into a more or less endless loop of heap reallocations. (I see page after page of the relay trace that're more or less identical, though I haven't inspected the fine details of return values and addresses.) Otherwise, Wine works very well on my machine: as I said, the install goes well and I've run several other programs (Karel++, regedit, Dungeon Crafter). DM Genie does have an evaluation expiration, but I'm far from the 60 day limit. I've let the machine sit for up to an hour in this state and, as expected, nothing really progresses. I've tried this all from a fake windows disk, too, but DM Genie doesn't even get started before it bombs. That's another problem, though. I'm running: Debian `sid' unstable w/ my own 2.2.19 XFree86 4.2.1 GNOME 2 Wine 20021219 I've tried a number of the debugging tasks on the Wine webpages, but they can be -- let's say -- rather confusing. :) So, if anyone can help me work through this problem, I'd be very happy. Not that I'm really desperate, but I *hate* rebooting and it seems that solving this problem could be quite useful to Wine's development. Maybe. :) Any ideas? Thanks!
