wineprefixcreate failing?

[Maarten Lankhorst]

Hi all,

Is it just me or is wineprefixcreate crashing horribly for others as well?

Cheers,
Maarten.

Are you running ubuntu by chance? Seems to be a bug in Hardy/Gutsy
that may be related to gcc. See:

I ran a regression test, and got all the way back to wine-0.9.56
without a failure. I was about to book an appointment with a
psychiatrist or a bartender, then found that the failure only occurs
when calling wine from a different directory. I.e.:

austin(a)austin-desktop:~/wine-git$ rm -rf ~/.wine && ~/wine-git/wine
notepad # this works fine
austin(a)austin-desktop:~$ rm -rf ~/.wine && ~/wine-git/wine notepad # fails

So I'm rerunning the tests now. However, thought I'd let everyone know
just in case they need a workaround until the problem can be fixed...
