wine users - Mar 2010 - winetest-latest.exe crashes on notebook, leads to reboot

This ain't funny anymore. On my notebook with ati xpress 1250 onboard
graphics running Windows XP, the latest version of winetest (corresponding to
wine 1.1.41) crashes after some timeout in the d3d9 tests, which leads to a hard
reboot. On my intel945 desktop there's just some timeout.

While I understand, that this X1250 chip is not really decent hardware and not
supported anymore by Ati with new drivers, winetest should not be able to reboot
my notebook. I'd be willing to run additional tests, if wine developers are
interested in that problem.

It isn't doing it -- the hardware drivers/modules are. It's mainly their
fault that they are buggy :\.

Then report that to laptop manufacturer/ATI/MS. Winetests are a regular user
space application that does a bit more unusual things that most other apps do.
