--- Comment #44 from Ilya Chernykh neptunia@mail.ru 2009-01-06 10:23:43 --- That bug was opened because MOTD was not displayed in Counter-Strike. This was the sitation I experienced before the recent Gecko-0.9 patch. MOTD was not shown but the game was OK. After the December 30 patch I experience crash of the game. Some people experienced crash even earlier (in fact on my computer in Wine-1.1.11 with old wineprefix there was no crash but if to let it create new wineprefix, crash occures). In Wine-1.1.12 I experience the crash anyway and the only way to avoid crash is to remove these files.
So
* MOTD never displayed - this is one bug * Gecko leads to CS crash - second bug.
