That looks familiar. In fact, the TRACE was originally a FIXME but it caused so much spew with so many apps I changed it. I couldn't see exactly what needed to be fixed given the contents of the message - it seems to be simply informing us of progress, but it's a possibility somebody knew this wasn't correct.
the patch was originally from me and the wsock maintainer also requested to removed it the day it was submited to the cvs tree.
i will provide this patch further on the page i have setup with instructions how to run gpl and NR2002/3. if this patch prevents some facny apps from working i think its better to remove it. all the gpl/nr racers that run the game on linux are die hard fans of the game, who have their windoze only running for this games and are looking for a way det rid of it complete. they will not care for quicktime as they use <put some linux sofware here>.
i dont have not time and also not the slightest motivation to look for a proper solution on the M$ or Papyrus end.
