Proposal: Revert the commit referenced in bug #11584 before this Friday, so it can be tested in rc5. I think the weight of the following is greater than breaking a test (making the test a todo for now would be a good idea I think).
The problem is that I added this broken PreLoad line(without understanding that it was broken) because some game needed it. So its not just the test that is broken. Reverting it will just trade broken app A against broken app B.
I have one exam and one excersise done now, and I may have a bit of free time the next days. Maybe I can find out something more about this problem, but I can't promise. And if I find the real issue, the fix may be too invasive for committing.
What I am a bit annoyed about this issue is that many people talked about how important it is to get this fixed, or talked about reverting patch XYZ, but nobody tried to find the real issue. Vitaliy did a lot of testing and experimenting, which was very helpful to understand the bug better, and to understand what is not a right fix. But all in all I think everybody waited for one of the main d3d devs to magically fix this.
The bottom line: The next time don't release in June. Many Wine developers, especially in the game area, are students, and May/June is exam season.
