Hello guys,
in case you have a Wine app that stopped working on Linux and you use 2.6.33-rcX kernels please give 2.6.32 a whirl. I finally sat down to track why the ntdll exception tests started to fail on my machines but not on other Fedora boxes. Turns out to be a regression in the Linux kernel: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15273
thanks bye michael

This isn't the first time a ptrace change broke Wine. Something very similar happened a few years ago.
Thanks, Scott Ritchie

The two regressions (it was a double regression) are now fixed and upstream: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=... http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=...
Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for fixing the problems and following through to get those patches accepted upstream before the final 2.6.33 is cut.
bye michael
