Summary: wine crashes while starting World of Warcraft 2.0.4 in
                    openGL mode
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.29.
          Platform: PC

         Component: wine-opengl
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]

warcraft crashes after login/selection, just after loading and just before game
begins. crash goes like this:

1) 'wine WoW.exe -opengl'

2)  hardware accelerated login window comes up, login.

3)  character model viewing page/selection screen loads, select 'Enter World'

4)  loading screen, bar progresses to 100%

5)  wine quits out immediatly from the load bar screen before the actual game
starts, no warcraft error just:

wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address (nil) (thread
0009), starting debugger...
Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000000 in 32-bit code
(0x00000000).

this is wine-0.9.29,

server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL version string: 1.5.6 NVIDIA 87.76

trying to find a peer with a fix, i found at least one other person on my distro
forums with the same exact problem, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=329822

the crash is very reproducable, and has entirely shut down opengl mode for me.
(-d3d is fine, just not-totally finished/supported, but playable).
