------- Additional Comments From chris.bainbridge@gmail.com 2006-21-04 13:07 ------- Hi, I traced the problem with winecfg crashing on my system to the proprietary ATI drivers. I posted a detailed description in bug #4561. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4561#c6 describes ATIs response - they claim:
"Alternatively it can be considered as a problem of the application to preserve the respective state of the used TLS method that the OpenGL driver did already "claim" and use."
Well, I think ATIs drivers should at least prevent kernel corruption leading to unexplained crashes...
