Re: Debugging an application crash

The problem with this answer is that I cannot supply sufficient information for 
anyone else to debug the crash if I cannot even display anything more than I 
showed in my original posting to this thread. I can't tell the author of the 
Windows application what went wrong and I can't tell anyone on the Wine project 
what went wrong.
