I was wondering if anything in wine could crash the system? I believe not, but I have this problem since I upgraded to kernel 2.4.3: I am running winamp through wine and usually within one song, the system freezes. At first I suspected my X server (not sure wether AGP is enabled or not) so I ran wine/winamp on my machine and displayed on a windows box using xwin32. I had X locally shut down. The system still crashed. Ok, I did use the 0.9.0beta4 ALSA sound drivers which could have such errors, so I tried the kernel sound driver instead (ymfpci) and still remote display. wine/winamp still caused a system freeze. The I tried a non-wine player, xmms as well as mpg123. Both played several songs (xmms still playing). Just when the system freezes, I hear a very short period of harddisk activity, but nothing is printed on the console. wine is from april 18. with the Transgamimg patch (may 7.) applied. I don't know how to continue searching for the bug. Any ideas? It does look lige a kernel bug to me. regards, Bernhard

I have two systems with Alsa (0.5.10b generally), with the VIA686 codec, and on both of them I can fairly consistently get a process hung inside an open call in the Alsa driver (only with Wine). For me, I don't lose my system, I simply have to reboot in order to recapture sound. I discussed this in substantial detail with Ulrich Weigand on wine-devel, and we came closer to understanding the problem, but we have not resolved it. At any rate, I don't think that's enormously helpful, but you should know that you're not alone. Jeremy
