Just because it's freeware doesn't mean you can distribute it.

Hello,

although it's always welcome that people give as much information as possible
in bug reports please don't overdo it - sometimes less is more ;-)
Thanks anyway.

The programs try to determine the CPU load using a common pattern and due to
bad programming they go into recursion, eating up all the stack.

There are many examples/snippet in various programming languages how to do this
in Windows.
One example snippet:
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KXJ/Win32-SystemInfo-CpuUsage-0.02/CpuUsage.x...

The example code snippet doesn't resemble the app code exactly but it should
give you an idea how it's done.

The problem is that Wine's SystemPerformanceInformation info class currently
doesn't return useful values.
The "idle time" (large integer) value will be ever zero on each retrieval.

To synchronize the "first time" calculation to sane values, the app uses a
"while" loop, retrieving the values, calculating differences to previous ones.
It checks the idle value and as long as it remains zero, it calls the "get cpu
usage" function recursively which leads to infinite recursion until stack
overflow.

Solution: Either provide "idle time" value from OS or non-zero "spike" the
value at least once in a while.

Regards

Hello,

looking at dlls/ntdll/nt.c maybe code similar to
SystemProcessorPerformanceInformation can be used to retrieve the accumulated
idle time for SystemPerformanceInformation info class from "/proc/stat" (only
combined "idle time" is needed).

Although units do not really match (100-nanosecond intervals in Windows) the
programs should be happy to see increasing value(s) ;-)

Regards
