Bug #: 32832 Summary: Wine logs fill the HD in a few seconds and bring down the machine Product: Wine Version: 1.5.22 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: scallegari@arces.unibo.it Classification: Unclassified
After the update to wine-1.5.22, on a kubuntu quantal 64 bit machine, with the wine shipped through the wine apt repo, I have a huge issue.
Wine floods the screen with 'fixme:wtsapi:WTSWaitSystemEvent Stub (nil) 0x00000078 0x94e964' (which is bad but tolerable).
Most important it fills .wine/drive_c/users/callegar/Application Data/APP_NAME_NON_STRING/Logs with HUGE log files. In a few seconds these may reach many GBs, fill the machine HD and bring the machine down.
The log files have names such as 2013.01.28_12.26.08_PID000033_HelperService.HTM and 2013.01.28_12.26.09_PID000041_ConversionService.HTM
The file giving issues is the helper service one, that gets filled by
Win32 error in file M:\TemporaryBuilds\2\80\Sources\soda-release\services\HelperService\SessionWatcher.cpp in line 221 code = 2. Message: File not found.
In just *one second* of wine, this file got to 42MB.
Would be nice if wine did not enable this log mechanism by default, but only after a command line flag. Also, it would be nice if repeated messages could be squelched. Finally, why not printing also which file is not found in the log?
As a workaround. Make .wine/drive_c/users/callegar/Application Data/APP_NAME_NON_STRING/Logs not writable by anybody.
