Ever since I believe patch 2.3.2 (possibly 2.3.1, not 100% sure on this) I have
started getting these lockups (though they do not seem to be exactly the same
as the one mentioned by the reporter of this bug, but it does however seem to
be the same kind of lock-up that other repliers in this bug have been talking
about), where the last message on my console is:

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0xf767ea0 "rtl.c:
RTL_RWLOCK.rtlCS" wait timed out in thread 001d, blocked by 0000, retrying (60
sec)

Like other people that have replied, it happens most frequently shortly after
entering or leaving a battleground (Alterac Valley is the one I do most). I've
also had it happen shortly after login, or at completely random moments while
playing the game (but never on the login or character selection screen, and
never while logging in or out). Sometimes I can play fine for hours without any
lock-ups, sometimes I get 3 within 5 minutes.

At first I thought this was some regression in Wine, but rolling back to 0.9.48
didn't help. I've tried setting the process affinity mask through the
config.wtf setting (SET processAffinityMask "<integer-mask-value>") and using
schedtool, unfortunately neither has helped.

My machine has an Intel Pentium D 940 dual-core processor, an nvidia 7950GX2
graphics card and runs Linux 2.6.24 with the proprietary nvidia drivers
(version 169.09). I have another machine that has an AMD Athlon XP 3500+ with
an ATI X1550 card (using fglrx driver version 8.452) that does not suffer from
this problem. Also the lock-ups have not dissappeared for me with patch 2.3.3.

I will attach my wow crash log, hopefully this information will be helpful in
solving this issue.
