(Reposted from wine-tests-results mailing list.)

In a request for Wine 1.0 RC2 testers in a recent Slashdot story, I found a
link to the following page, which describes how to run some automated tests
against a Wine build.

After pulling the latest version from Git, I built it and began running the
dotests script.  Everything seemed to be running fine until test #309 began. 
309 brought up a large window titled Main Window on my main monitor and
immediately began thrashing my hard drive.  System responsiveness basically
halted, save for a very jerky mouse.  After a few minutes of thrashing, even
the mouse stopped working.  No keyboard commands worked, including
Ctrl+Alt+Bksp to kill X and Ctrl+Alt+F1 to drop to a terminal.

I did a hard reboot, then ran the tests again with absolutely no other
applications running.  Again, on test #309, the same symptoms occurred.  This
time I was quick enough with Ctrl+Alt+Bksp to kill the process before it
required a hard reboot.  This doesn't seem like desired behavior to me.

Running fully updated Arch Linux for x86 with stock Arch kernel 2.6.25.4. 
Tests were run in XFCE.

I hope this report is helpful, and if you'd like more information or another
test for me to run, please don't hesitate to ask.
