>Number: 7562 >Category: kern >Synopsis: Running wine can cause other applications to fail >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Mon Aug 10 14:30:00 PDT 1998 >Last-Modified: >Originator: David Gilbert >Organization: Velocet Communications >Release: FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE i386 >Environment: Wine is version 980726. All invocations of wine that ran windows software caused the problem. These included microsoft paint and wordpad. >Description: The effect is rather immediate. If you are also running Netscape (I run the linux version 4.05), the next time Netscape goes to the CPU (if it's totally idle, it will remain so, until you wake it) it will commense using all the available CPU and not responding to the user. This can be seen as Netscape not updating it's display. If you kill Netscape, it will die, but restarting Netscape induces the same behaviour, except that Netscape never gets as far as opening a window on the screen. I have not observed if other applications are affected, however a mysterious disk (filesystem) crash followed a wine session after which I chose not to reboot. >How-To-Repeat: Run wine applications and the Linux netscape 4.05 >Fix: No workaround known. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
