I'm trying to use Wine to run a program called heavy weather - its a windows only program that interfaces with a weather station that I have through a serial port. I was able to get the program up and running with wine. Then, I couldn't get it to connect at all to the weather station. After much too long, I finally realized that the problem was that my permissions on /dev/ttyS0 were too restrictive - I change them, and now the program connects up, and pulls in data. The next problem, however, is that as soon as I start the program, the system load starts to skyrocket. 5, 6, 7... and climbing. Soon, the mouse starts to become jerky, and its hard to change windows. Within about 2 minutes, the mouse doesn't work at all, and remote terminals stop responding. The system load is up in the 40s. As soon as I unplug the serial cable, everything goes back to normal. Here is some information that is being kicked out to the command line: fixme:comm:SetupComm insize 1298 outsize 1298 unimplemented stub err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x5204ac84 "loader.c: loader_section" wait timed out in thread 0025, blocked by 0024, retrying (60 sec) err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x685f8f58 "?" wait timed out in thread 000a, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec) err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x685f8f58 "?" wait timed out in thread 000a, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec) And that error continues until I unplug the serial port. Any suggestions? Why is this serial port traffic bringing the entire system down? Its not a very fast computer, but, this it shouldn't take much processing power for this...
