Debian file server hangs or freezes every time a visual foxpro (vfp) built exe file located or stored in it is executed from within a local area network consisting of windows (XP) and linux (debian) boxes. If only windows boxes are utilized to access the vfp program, server never fails; but when a linux box joins in and runs the vfp through wine, server hangs or freezes within 1 to 2 hours.
