------- Additional Comments From wine.dev@web.de 2007-18-03 06:54 ------- Your system is broken!
The test tried to open "COM1", (trace:file:CreateFileW L"COM1" GENERIC_READ GENERIC_WRITE ... ) that is converted to the default target as expected (trace:file:get_dos_device L"COM1" -> "/dev/ttyS0") but then, CreateFile does not fail: trace:file:CreateFileW returning 0x38
Since you have no serial Ports, this CreateFile must fail (which is handled in our test). In cour case, wine is able to create "/dev/ttyS0". This is not possible for a normal user, so 1) you are running as root or 2) your Distribution is broken
What is printed from the command: file /dev/ttyS0
