Summary: Microsoft Word Viewer (wd97vwr32.exe) no longer works since 20030813 Product: Wine Version: 20030813 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.com ReportedBy: wine@wine.lka.org.lu
Since 20030813, launching the "free" Microsoft Viewer in wine makes the following thing happen: 1. Word Splash screen stays on screen 2. There are two wine processes 3. As shown with strace, the father segfaults over and over again (apparently, the signal is being caught, that's why it doesn't exit) 4. The child takes up all remaining CPU (as shown by top), but doesn't do any system calls (as shown by strace). An endless loop?
This has been experienced on a SuSE-9.0 system.
Last known working copy is wine-20030709-SL8.2 Known broken are the following wine-20030813 (8.2), wine-2003080911 (9.0), wine-20031016 (8.2 and 9.0) show the problem [All tried on a SuSE-9.0 system, the version number refers to the RPM. Oddly enough, the one does work (20030709) is one that is intended for 8.2...)
