Bug #: 33189 Summary: wineconsole can't launch batch filenames with parenthesis Product: Wine Version: 1.5.24 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: cmd AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jeromepoulin@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
If you launch a batch file which has a parenthesis in its filename, you get an infinite loop.
I'm currently using ArchLinux.
=== How to reproduce === mkdir -p "$HOME/a" echo -n -e "@echo off\r\nnotepad.exe\r\n" > "$HOME/a/test(123).bat" wineconsole "$HOME/a/test(123).bat"
I'm also using Ubuntu with wine 1.4.1 which does not have this behaviour, they may have fixed it as I had it before Ubuntu Raring, on Precise, maybe they have a patch already.
