GDI Memory Leak + err:x11drv:X11DRV_SetDeviceClipping Rgn is 0. Please report this.

I got these errors while trying to do something a little uncommon:

I have been running Halflife from my windows partiton just fine.  But I 
wanted to remove the huge files and replace them with symlinks to a cdrom,
 but since I can't do symlinks on fat32 (is there a wine hack for this?? 
i think it would be a great idea!!), I figured I copy the basic files of 
HL to my linux partition, and symlink the huge pak files.
So, I have /mnt/halflife  and under there I have some symlinks.  I went 
ahead and added these to my ~/.wine/config 
[Drive H]
"Path" = "/mnt"
"Type" = "hd"
"Filesystem" = "vfat"

Now, as root try running halflife with:  cd /mnt/halflife ; wine hl.exe 
 or wine h:\halflie\hl.exe  (or with all the command line options for opengl,
 software, etc)
I get these errors and a SegFault from wine:

/mnt/halflife# wine h:\halflife\hl.exe -- -console -toconsole -soft -w 
640 -win

Segmentation fault
whatever:/mnt/halflife# err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection Critical section

Running notepad.exe from /mnt/ works just fine. So something else is happening 
here... Email me if you need more info

thanks

Hmm, you do know that directory symlinks (*not* file symlinks, though !)
are ignored by Wine per default ?
Set
[wine]
"ShowDirSymlinks" = "1"
if you *really* (and I mean "really", since it can have bad results)
want to use this.
