--- Comment #4 from Michael Karcher wine@mkarcher.dialup.fu-berlin.de 2008-12-03 02:36:38 --- It might also have an external cause. If that patch broke behaviour when the xml download via network failed, the breakage is only visible when the primary (i.e. first tried) download server is down. I reviewed that patch and still consider it safe, but I feel I have to stress-test the failure case.
