Summary: Native Linux applications write noise to disk when Wine is running Product: Wine Version: 0.9.54. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: e.rodola@gmail.com
When I run some application with Wine (it happens with ALL the applications I launched, e.g. Goldwave, Photoshop, DXDiag, WinRAR, CDex, ...) and then launch some Linux application (Gimp, OpenOffice, custom code, ...), all the disk writing attempts result in noise being written to disk.
Wine does not print any warnings or errors, and neither do the affected programs. The writing ends with success, but when I try to open the file, all I get is random bytes. If I quit wine and then re-run the Linux apps, the produced files look just OK.
I run Wine on Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty), on a i386 system with 1GB RAM DDR2, the filesystem is ext3. RAM is not broken (I did many memtests), filesystem is not broken, I have plenty of hard disk space and plenty of free RAM when running the applications.
