[Bug 18356] fallout 3: mouselook crashes

Found a workaround, tested like 3-4 times in a row and it didn't crash (it
would do so in 90% of cases): add 'maxcpus=1' to Linux's command line (press
'e' when GRUB loads and edit the 'kernel' line).

Seems like a threading issue. Not sure whether it's Wine's fault or the game's
fault.

Also tried to fiddle with Fallout.ini settings like those relating to
threading, background loading and tasklets, flipping probably all of them, one
at a time and testing. But it won't help. If only there was a simple setting
not requiring to turn off SMP support...

Can anybody share more insight on this?
