Thanks for the suggestions.

I've narrowed one of the issues down to WineEngGetGlyphOutline in dlls/gdi32/freetype.c.

The pitch is 6640 and the height is 53003. This means that a buffer of ~335Mb has been allocated and then memset.

This is where the slow down is occurring (because of the memset). I suspect the resultant crash is also because of this.

I would suggest that limits need to be placed on the maximum pitch and height.


I do not however believe that this is the root cause just one of the symptoms.

To get a backtrace and be able to dump some datastructures, run with

WINEDEBUG=+synchronous wine foo.exe

This will bring it into the debugger once the condition happens.
