[Bug 1088] New: - Wine crashes for user not in /etc/passwd (LDAP authentication)

http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1088

Summary: Wine crashes for user not in /etc/passwd (LDAP
                    authentication)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 20020804
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

On my machine (PC Clone, Mandrake Linx 9.0, Wine 20021007 installed via RPM 
from the Cooker tree), Wine crashes with a segmentation fault any time I try to
run it from a user who does not exist in /etc/passwd. All the actual human 
users on my network are authenticated via LDAP from another Mandrake box, so 
they don't need entries in /etc/passwd (although I've created them now so we 
can run Wine).

This was a bear of a problem to find; I had thought originally that only root 
was able to run Wine due to some config problem. I'm not sure what prompted me 
to try to create a local dummy user and test it. I'm also not sure if the error 
is only related to LDAP or if it will happen with any alternate authentication 
(NIS, winbind or whatever), since all I have to do is stick the user 
in /etc/passwd to get it to work.

I should point out that I also had this problem with Wine 20020804 which came 
with Mandrake 9 - I upgraded to the latest package on Cooker to see if it fixed 
the problem before I discovered what the problem was.
