Hi,
One of my development machines is a dualcore Athlon64 using a 64bit version of Debian. I have been using this system for months and it
always worked
fine. Since I hadn't used the system during the summer it contained an older Wine version.
I have upgraded it to the latest GIT version and Wine doesn't work anymore. It doesn't just crash, but it locks up the whole system. I have
no idea
what causes it. I for instance ran Wine some time before as root (I
really
had to be root at that time) and for the root user it didn't lock up
until I
wanted to run a fresh .wine directory.
I can't really test what caused it as testing this takes a lot of time
and
I can't use a bad filesystem or so on this system. On irc a ubuntu64
user
said he had similar problems using Wine 0.9.44 but for him it 'only' segfaulted. Perhaps there is a connection between the problems.
Has anyone recently seen problems like this? It prevents me from playing with Wine code at the moment.

A debian dist-upgrade 'fixed' the problem. I have no idea to what wine was sensitive.

So now and then I'll still have the problem. I'll see if I can make a +all log of it.
