Summary: Null pointer de-reference playing half-life 2: wine
                    kernel bug?
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.49.
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-kernel
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

backtrace from winedbg

I've got about half-way through HL2 (all with 0.9.49) and the game has suddenly
started crashing on startup with a null pointer exception. It's worked fine up
to now!

Is this crash in the wine code? I'm not familiar with winedbg. Backtrace etc
attached, happy to do any other suggested tests.

Other Source games are still working fine; Portal works (with the fglrx radeon
driver -- the r300 driver doesn't have fragment shaders & I think that's
breaking it, it refuses to start).

Error trace attached

cheers, Phil

"with the fglrx radeon driver"

usually that one causes issues. Is the crash repeatable, or was it a random
crash?

The crash occurs both with the fglrx driver & the open source r300 driver (the
card is a Radeon 9550).

All the other Valve games seem OK & HL2 worked fine until last night with wine
0.9.49

Most odd.

I built the wine debs myself from the 0.9.49 sources, so I can build debug
versions if that would help.

Can you try with a clean .wine directory and see if it still occurs? If so, can
you run a regression test?

I'll give it a go over the weekend if I have time.

I'll have to copy over the Steam directory of course.

OK, I should have had more faith in you guys obviously: this turns out to be an
HL2 data corruption issue of some sort.

I do have a GLSL / non GLSL rendering bug to report, but I'll file a new bug
for that. Sorry for the bugzilla noise.
