--- Comment #69 from Leslie Houk lhouk@lesliehouk.com 2009-01-21 10:26:15 --- Setting aside the philosophical discussions, from a purely technical basis, how hard would it be to implement a fix? I know that Janosch submitted a patch in Comment #60 (and a big thanks for doing so!), but I get the impression that it is a kludge rather than a true fix. Are we talking about a major rewrite of multiple modules, or just a few quick lines of code and maybe a check box in wine-config? If it's the former, I agree we probably shouldn't devote the resources to it, but if it's the latter, I don't see the harm.
Can anyone with a deeper knowledge of how Wine handles threads shed some light on the level of effort a possible fix might require?
