Summary: Simple win16 apps hang
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://openwatcom.org
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-misc
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

OpenWatcom works on Wine.
It's amazingly easy to install it and build one of its demo apps:
$ wget http://ftp.openwatcom.org/ftp/open-watcom-c-win32-1.6.exe
$ wine open-watcom-c-win32-1.6.exe
$ wineboot
$ cd .wine/drive_c/WATCOM/samples/win/alarm/win16
$ wine wmake
$ wine alarm

This builds an honest-to-goodness win16 binary that works
on XP (possibly with one warning dialog you have to ignore).

Unfortuately, Wine doesn't currently run these win16 apps
properly; they hang with

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7b91f300 "syslevel.c:
Win16Mutex" wait timed out in thread 000b, blocked by 000c, retrying
(60 sec)

This is embarassing.  These are the "hello, world" of 16 bit
windows apps, and current wine (well, wine-0.9.37-g3739b5f)
can't run them...
