[Bug 12267] New: winstone 32 hangs

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12267

Summary: winstone 32 hangs
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS/GIT
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Here's what happens when you launch c:\zdbench\ws32\ui.exe:
it puts up its window, says "examining the execution environment"
(although you can't see it, since the window is too big, and 
falls off the bottom), and hangs.

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7b922ee0 "syslevel.c:
Win16Mutex" wait timed out in thread 0016, blocked by 0012, retrying (60 sec)
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7bc8d6e4 "loader.c:
loader_section" wait timed out in thread 0012, blocked by 0016, retrying (60
sec)

It hangs just like this on XP, too.  But what the heck, if
we could get it to not hang on wine, that'd be nice.

Oooh, I take it back.  It hangs slightly sooner on
Wine; +text doesn't show "examining the execution environment".

And on Windows, the next time you start it, it skips the thing
that hung.

More info.  Doesn't install at all with current default of XP
(installer has all checkboxes greyed out).
Does install if you use winecfg to WinNT 3.1 or Win95.

Locks up as described earlier if you set WinNT.

More interesting is if you choose Win95.  It then starts
working, kind of!  It crashes trying to get the number
of files and the screen refresh rate (!), but recovers on
next runs.  It then gets upset if you don't have 
c:\windows\system.dat or c:\windows\user.dat, but touching
both those files gets you past that.
Half the time it gets upset because it has trouble running
"WSVERIFY.EXE"; just retry to get past that.

Finally, it gets upset because it can't get the result of
running a helper app.

egrep "WINEXEC|MESSAGEBOX" on the wine +relay log shows

0019:Call KERNEL.166: WINEXEC(16670000 "C:\windows\WS32BACK\WS32REG.EXE /e
C:\windows\WS32BACK\backup.reg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE",0005)
ret=1277:0305 ds=137f
0019:Ret  KERNEL.166: WINEXEC() retval=00000000 ret=1277:0305 ds=137f
0019:Call USER.1: MESSAGEBOX(0028,16670000 "Winstone 32 could not start a
program using the command line:\n\nC:\windows\WS32BACK\WS32REG.EXE /e
C:\windows\WS32BACK\backup.reg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\n\nThe program
returned an error code of 0.",166f01f8 "Winstone 32  Version 1.0",0010)
ret=1267:005f ds=137f
0019:Ret  USER.1: MESSAGEBOX() retval=00000001 ret=1267:005f ds=137f

The backup was successfully made; backup.reg is a nice large text
file.  So something's amiss in how the win16 app detects that the
win32 app terminated properly.  (And what's wrong with an error code of 0?)

If anyone's interested, I can provide logs, etc.

Batch mode looks handy (see UI/README.TXT).  It suffers
from all the same problems, but if you just keep retrying, about
one in ten runs it will say "Winbench starting!" and try to run tests.
You have to edit RUNWS.INI first to pick what you want it to do.
The commandline is
 $ wine WS32.EXE AUTO RUNWS.INI
And you can edit RUNWS.INI to tell the app not to exit
when done; this lets you play around with the GUI.

Neither via GUI nor via .ini file can I get it to
actually run a benchmark.  It just skips past it for
some reason.  It also says it creates results.txt, but
I can't find it.

Dan, I can't find a download for this anywhere. Do you still have it? If not I
think this bug can be closed as abandoned, right?

This was as far as I could get:

I do have a copy, and I even have exchanged emails with the author,
but I don't think it's worth the effort anymore.
