OK, I have windoze ME installed on my system and have been trying to run IE 6.0 with wine release 20010824. Trying to start iexplore.exe goes along until: Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0xdeadbeef in 32-bit code (0xdeadbeef). In 32-bit mode. 0xdeadbeef (_end+0x9df10793): *** Invalid address 0xdeadbeef (_end+0x9df10793) -- no code -- Enter path to file 'lstat64.c': What is this? Deadbeef? lstat64.c? praedor

Deadbeef? lstat64.c?0xdeadbeef (Dead Beef) is the favorite snack of Chuck U Farley. IOW... Bad programmer humor (and you can take several different ways depending on intonation, emphasis, or association). It's something that, probably, too many of us plug into programs for default values to blow up on (or just use) when no other values are available or make any better sense and we don't feel like querying /dev/random. >;-> I lose track of how many times I've see someone use that as an initial sequence number or some nonce value in a hack or exploit. Should be interesting to hear why it reared it's head here. But I guess that didn't answer what you wanted to know, even though it did answer what you asked. :-/> praedorMike -- Michael H.

Deadbeef? lstat64.c?A hex value of 0xDEADBEEF is a popular value for initializing areas of memory when they are first allocated. It's an easily-recognizable pattern, which does not (in most systems) correspond to an actual, valid user virtual or physical memory address. This crash strongly suggests that some code has been passed an uninitialized pointer. lstat() is a system call, used to enquire about the type and status of a file or symbolic link. If I had to guess, I'd guess that one of the WINE DLLs is not completely initializing a WIN32 data structure in the same way that ME does, and that this is a data structure whose internal format has changed between 95/98 and ME. -- Dave Platt dplatt@radagast.org Visit the Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior/ I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads!

It has been used in the PowerPC world for a long time, and supposedly it comes from IBM, and it refers to the football team of Austin, Texas has a bull or so as a mascot, and the other IBM developer group wanted to tease them in the over ongoing competition.> In 32-bit mode. > 0xdeadbeef (_end+0x9df10793): *** Invalid address 0xdeadbeef > (_end+0x9df10793) > -- no code -- > Enter path to file 'lstat64.c': > > What is this? Deadbeef? lstat64.c?Deadbeef is a losing football team mascot.
