>Originator:     David Gilbert
>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
Velocet Communications
>Environment:

	Wine is version 980726.  All invocations of wine that ran
windows software caused the problem.  These included microsoft paint
and wordpad.

>Description:

	The effect is rather immediate.  If you are also running Netscape
(I run the linux version 4.05), the next time Netscape goes to the CPU
(if it's totally idle, it will remain so, until you wake it) it will
commense using all the available CPU and not responding to the user.
This can be seen as Netscape not updating it's display.

	If you kill Netscape, it will die, but restarting Netscape
induces the same behaviour, except that Netscape never gets as far
as opening a window on the screen.

	I have not observed if other applications are affected, however
a mysterious disk (filesystem) crash followed a wine session after
which I chose not to reboot.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Run wine applications and the Linux netscape 4.05

>Fix:
	
	No workaround known.

 I believe this bug should not occur any longer, with a "current" version
 of FreeBSD (3.4, 3.5 or 4.x) and the current version of the Wine port.
 
 Please give both a try and report and problems you still might have! I'm
 sorry that you didn't get a response earlier, but I became maintainer of
 the Wine port only recently.
 
 Considering the age of the PR and what I wrote above, I suggest to close
 the PR. 
 
 Gerald

 I have been using wine recently, but not seriously.  I keep hoping,
 but then my need for it is decreasing rapidly.  Since Star Office 5.1
 came out (and now 5.2) it's become only a curiosity for me.
 
 I don't remember seeing the bug recently.
 
 Dave.
