--- Comment #4 from Jan Zerebecki jan.wine@zerebecki.de 2008-10-23 00:25:14 --- Yes, still an issue. I can reproduce it by running a memtest that occupies enough ram so that starting wine makes the machine swap heavily or having enough stuff open so that starting wine requires the machine to first swap quite some stuff to disk.
