Hi, while working through the test reports in the appdb, i saw users submitting crashes with applications , all similar to bug 7380, so i decided to take it here. The applications that crash are *WinMerge (newest version) *BookWorms Adventures + several other PopCap games ( i tested them) *5 other applications listed under bug 7380.
So i know of at least 10 applications that crash this way. They all start fine using the "buggy pointer" patch from Rein Klazes below. However, i think it's becoming rahter strange that all these (just released!) applications pass buggy pointers, so i'm beginning to think the problem must be somewhere else. I've sent in a patch to work around this bug by an exception handler a few weeks ago, but that's likely not the way to go either then. Anyone an idea how to tackle this problem? Thanks.
I noticed WinMerge crashing, but I think it worked a number of wine versions back (wine-0.9.2x, with x being around 6-8). Please regression test it if you can, I don't currently have the time.
May the bug hunt go well, Damjan
