Summary: MinGW (GDB) installer stalls when extracting files.
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-kernel
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I have tried to install MinGW's GDB using a straight "wine gdb-6.3-2.exe" many
times now and it usually stalls at 11% when it tries to extract files. Sometimes
it gets futher and stalls at 24%.

Using the folowing flags allows it to install some of the time. Even if it
stalls, most of the time if I switch away from the install screen and then
return to it it recovers and resumes installation. Sometimes I need to switch
away and return quite a number of times before it recovers and on the odd
occassion it seems I am unable to make recover at all.

WINEDEBUG="+relay" wine gdb-6.3-2.exe &> gdb.out

The same technique does not work I try to install it with out "+relay"

One interesting part that I could find in the relay log are the calls to
gdi32.GetTextExtentExPointW and gdi32.ExtTextOutW it seems that the strings
passed to them are corrupted from kernel32.WideCharToMultiByte.

ie: instead of just "Extract: gdb.exe... 11%" it also contains extra garbage
such as: 
"\7fc8\f183\3f3b\b9ae\2008\ffff\ffff\f044\00c8\0ff4\2015"

This may not be the reason for the lockup but it is interesting.;^)
