Hi, I upgraded my kernel from 2.4.23 to 2.6.19.2 and Wine still works fine for most apps, but it won't run Bider Speech Plus anymore. It pops up the splash screen, says "Initializing TTS system" for a while, and then says wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0x403c67 (thread 0009), starting debugger... Usage: winedbg [ [ --gdb ] [ prog-name [ prog-args ] | <num> | file.mdmp | --help ] Sometimes, instead of that, it prints onto the splash screen: "Initializing TTS system failed. Error code: 0x80650103. Please see help or tech support." (Well I doubt they'd help.) I'm using a normal 3G+1G memory model on IA32 and the latest stable version of Wine (I tried recompiling it in the new kernel) and I don't have any experimental graphics drivers or other weird stuff running (in fact I'm using Xvnc as the X server just to be sure). I tried running a +relay,+seh,+tid trace (which was 253M big) and there were several trace:seh lines, the first being code c0000005 (access violation) after a call of user32.SetDeskWallPaper but it seems that was handled, and later there was a code c000013a after a load of calls to ReadFile() and then to VirtualAlloc(). It seems NtAllocateVirtualMemory is returning an error. The last file it opened was Program Files/Bider/Speech Plus/Resource/Standard/SMExtern.rul which is less than 1M so I don't see what's up with that. Why should NtAllocateVirtualMemory fail on kernel 2.6 but not 2.4? I'm using libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge4 by the way (Debian sarge distro). Thanks. Silas -- Replace nospam with ssb22 to reply by email.
