[Bug 13509] New: Automated test #309 thrashes hard drive

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13509

Summary: Automated test #309 thrashes hard drive
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS/GIT
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

(Reposted from wine-tests-results mailing list.)

In a request for Wine 1.0 RC2 testers in a recent Slashdot story, I found a
link to the following page, which describes how to run some automated tests
against a Wine build.
http://wiki.winehq.org/MakeTestFailures

After pulling the latest version from Git, I built it and began running the
dotests script.  Everything seemed to be running fine until test #309 began. 
309 brought up a large window titled Main Window on my main monitor and
immediately began thrashing my hard drive.  System responsiveness basically
halted, save for a very jerky mouse.  After a few minutes of thrashing, even
the mouse stopped working.  No keyboard commands worked, including
Ctrl+Alt+Bksp to kill X and Ctrl+Alt+F1 to drop to a terminal.

I did a hard reboot, then ran the tests again with absolutely no other
applications running.  Again, on test #309, the same symptoms occurred.  This
time I was quick enough with Ctrl+Alt+Bksp to kill the process before it
required a hard reboot.  This doesn't seem like desired behavior to me.

Running fully updated Arch Linux for x86 with stock Arch kernel 2.6.25.4. 
Tests were run in XFCE.

I hope this report is helpful, and if you'd like more information or another
test for me to run, please don't hesitate to ask.

by test 309, do you mean user32:win? Wine shouldn't hard-lock your machine. Are
you running the tests as root? This might be a video driver bug?

No, I wasn't running the tests as root.  When running the dotests script, I see
lines like:
Running: comctl32:rebar (30 of 335)
The crash occured on 309 of 335.  I don't have the name handy, though I could
run it again if you like.

I don't know if "hard lock" is the right term.  The hard drive was running
constantly and the mouse behaving poorly, but the 2nd time it responded to
killing X.  I suspect it just ran up the memory through the roof, started
swapping, and never stopped.

I'm using an nvidia card using the nvidia drivers.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

Maybe your window manager crashed. Can you try running the tests with something
other than XFCE? I've definitely seen situations where an app can send kwin /
metacity into a tailspin.

I just gave it a run in a freshly installed KDE and everything ran fine (log
uploaded automatically, I believe).  Looks like it's something to do with XFCE,
or my setup.

And yes, test #309 was called user32:win.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.9 or newer) wine?

I just ran the tests following the same steps as in the original bug report
(latest version from git).  All 385 tests completed without any lockups. 
However, I'm running a new CPU, motherboard, and graphics card now (ATi instead
of NVidia).  Whether it was a hardware change, a change in Wine, or an update
to any of the system softare that fixed the bug, it seems to be fixed now.

Since no one else has duplicated this bug, I figure it can be closed.

Not fixed since there was no problem identified.
