gecko regressions; debug build of gecko?

[Dan Kegel]

I've been doing some random qa of popular apps lately, and
think I've found some regressions caused by the gecko update:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16869 - Sketchup 7 crashes when
bringing up 3d Warehouse
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16892 - Yahoo Messenger 8.1
crashes after it puts up the instant message window

Hmm, can we have a debug version of the gecko download
so we can give more useful backtraces?

We already have it, it's on SourceForge. To use it you have to replace 
existing Wine Gecko installation in c:\windows\gecko\0.9.0 or replace 
wine_gecko-0.9.0.cab before creating Wine prefix.

Thanks, I updated http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko with that info.
I see a more verbose log, but sadly, backtraces in
xul crashes are still not symbolic.  Is that a problem
with the build of Gecko, or a problem with winedbg?

WINEDEBUG=+gecko seems to turn on assertions in gecko.
Can you add a note about that in the wiki page, if it's true?

Thanks,
Dan

It looks like it got broken during release process, it worked for me 
before (although it caused an assertion in dbghelp.dll). I will 
investigate it.

In case you're not aware of it, bug 16785 is open regarding Wine-Gecko
0.9.0 crashing if you run Wine from a git tree using the wine symlink at
the top of the built tree.

Also, I saw the above bugs are marked against shdocvw, while bug 16785
(and a few other Wine-Gecko 0.9.0 bugs) are marked against mshtml.
