Bug #205895 reported by slamdunk  on 2008-03-24
I have installed Wine 0.9.58 on my Hardy and Internet Explorer 6 + Flash plugin
(using ies4linux). After few seconds "top" command reports processes
IEXPLORE.EXE & winserver ~ 100% cpu usage. After closing IE6, remains
wineserver 100% cpu usage.

There is an additional bug at
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-bugs/2008-March/098758.html (bug 11916)
This person found the same thing as me, the problem is with the kernel32 patch.
I will compile a .deb with the patch reversed if anyone is interested.
The exact patch for anyone that is interested:

Once patch has been rolled back it runs well. Need more testing. The
underlining problem is somewhere in implementation of RtlRegisterWait. Seems
like there is a loop while polling for an even to become signalled Somebody
familiar with the internals should take a look at this as it will affect other
applications. The result is hurting ubuntu as you can't run IE on hardy
anymore.

Hi all. I've recompiled wine with the patch bdkoepke described rolled back. It
is available in my repo for hardy on i386 and amd64 here:

Tested with 1.1.29~winehq0~ubuntu~9.04-0ubuntu2 and this bug is still present.
However, wine_1.0.0-2eitri1_i386.deb works fine.

Duplicate. Basically report all IEs4Linux bugs to its developers.

¿?

ies4linux is just a script that downloads i6 binaries and runs the installation
process. What about if I had installed the binaries myself? (
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=25 ). The
problem is that RtlRegisterWait eats CPU. IE6 is just a way to test it, but it
can affect other software as well. A simple configurable switch to disable the
call would do the trick in the meantime. By closing the bug you are ignoring
the problem. But do as you please.

Each native dll brings some instability which can't be supported here
especially for rpc/com/dcom.

If you digged to reason why it fails or have a testcase for that open a bug for
kernel32.

This is not a solution.
