I'm sorry, but a user mode application must not be able to crash your system. This is how modern operating systems are defined. No matter what evil thing the app does, either maliciously or accidentally, the kernel must protect you from harm. If it does not, the kernel is broken.
Get any good book about operating system that discusses topics like security, multi-user systems, resource quotas and similar things. They will all confirm what I said.
Even if Wine is the old application on earth that crashes your system: If the system crashes, and you are not running Wine as root, it is a bug in your kernel, not wine.
I'm not using a 2 year old version, i'm running the newest version -,-
but i give up. I understand what you're trying to say, but you should know just as well as i do that there are always exceptions to the rule that an app can't crash a system.
Anyway, go ahead, delete me, this bug or anything else. If you're unable to read what i'm typing then i can't be arsed to even try to file bug reports.
