Great!  I've added a link to your message in a comment to
bug 2658.

Since you're doing triage, all you have to do is verify
whether the bug still is happening with current CVS --
you don't have to fix it or track it down any further.
You should move on to the next bug now.

And for future reference, please be sure to add a comment
to the bugzilla entries you triage, saying whether you were able
to reproduce the problem.

Thanks!

I was thinking of actually adding the contents of my posting, after
letting it soak for some time.
Was hoping for reactions from someone knowing something about Wine and
how it paints windows.

Don't worry, I'm already working on the next one :-).
Only thing is, I like analyzing stuff more than I like monkey work, so
I'll probably keep working on the Trillian problem too.

Also, it seems like infinite loop bugs in the painting code is
something that we'd probably like to fix before Wine 1.0 hits the
street?

(Mr. Julliard, any opinions?)

Was going to, only in a week or so.  Thanks for doing it :-).
