I just installed TM2008 with DotNet using wine-1.0 on ubuntu-8.04. I get the
same issue with TM freezing after downloading the database. I haven't noticed
any problems with corrupting the database yet, but I haven't done anything with
it yet either. The database corruption bug has me a little worried.

What can I do to help in debugging this? I can install TM in VirtualBox, or on
a separate XP partition, but I want to be able to do away with the need for
that XP license. (I have XP SP2, but I like linux.)  I'm not sure how much time
or expertise I can bring, but I'm willing to try and help where I can.
