hi friends, I have been playing with wine for quiet some time now. I wanted to check how many instance of wine can it run, and started opening wordpad. After 700 instances wine starts creating defunct process. The wine-pthread creates defunct. I don't know why. I checked the for free memory, and it is there in the system. So i don't what may be the problem. Is there any limitation for pthread as such ??? and is there any method to dubug this. If so how to do?? I would be very much thankful if anybosy throws light on this direction. Thanks in advance. ravi.
