Summary: wine segffaults on Linux kernel 2.6.18 and noexec enabled Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: patrol@sinus.cz
On linux kernel 2.6.18, i386 and x86_64 platforms, running with noexec feature enabled (the default), a lot of windows apps cause wine to segfault or crash. Booting Linux with noexec=off boot param makes the apps to work again. In 2.6.17 and earlier, they work even with noexec=on. There is probably a massive stack corruption because it's not possible (at least for me) to get a valid backtrace, even with a fully debug-enabled wine.
