This patch attempts to remove a gross hack with a slightly less gross hack in order to avoid clobbering data in signal info that Wine needs. In 7 this was fixed by a major change to how the kernel manages signals internally, and that change is too large to be MFC'd, hence this lighter weight patch. It has already been tested by the folks working on Wine, but I would like a bit more widespread testing before I commit it. Please test this patch and let me know if anything breaks. Note that this patch is only for i386. http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/sig_eva.patch -- John Baldwin
I've been testing with the wine patch, including the signal patch from wiki.freebsd.org/Wine and it seems to run fine. I've been using the box for testing, development and such, no problems that I can see so far. -- Kris Moore PC-BSD Software http://www.pcbsd.com

I can confirm it does not hurt but what does it good (my wine already ran fine despite some DDE and performance issues)? What to look for especially - any specific test procedures? Volker
