Description Joe Christy 2005-09-30 16:58:42 UTC 
Description of problem:
running wine under kernel-2.6.13-1.1526 produces:
  wine: Unhandled exception (thread 0009), starting debugger...
and then locks up my machine hard - keyboard & screen dead, no remote ssh
access, must be power-cycled to proceed.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.13-1.1526

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.launch wine
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Within an instant the controlling shell (wrom whence wine was invoked) shows:
  wine: Unhandled exception (thread 0009), starting debugger...
and then locks up my machine hard - keyboard & screen dead, no remote ssh
access, must be power-cycled to proceed.


Expected results:
wine launches

Additional info:
Wine people say that this is a platform, rather than wine bug, cf.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3416.

I know that it looks like a glibc-2.3.5-10.3 bug, but it does not appear on
another machine with the same glibc, but older kernel-2.6.12-1.1456 does not
display this bug.
Comment 1 julian 2005-10-20 19:04:07 UTC 
i can confirm this bug on an up-to-date fc4 system, BUT it is possible to "rescue" the machine if you ARE 
already logged in per ssh and kill -9 all wine-related  processes. very annoying
Comment 2 julian 2005-10-27 15:37:06 UTC 
still occurs with wine 0.9 and kernel 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4
Comment 3 Andreas Bierfert 2005-10-27 15:51:55 UTC 
Are you using the wine rpm from winehq or some selfcompiled version?
Comment 4 Rudolf Kastl 2005-10-27 15:52:11 UTC 
what about the same machine with an older kernel?
Comment 5 Joe Christy 2005-10-27 15:59:07 UTC 
W/ a clean wine 0.9 built from CVS the morning of the 0.9 announcement, and
kernel 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4, on my two FC4 boxen, I never see this on one machine
(which has never displayed the problem, in fact), and intermittently on the other.

What is surpassingly strange, is that now, when I run wine under gdb on _either_
box, I _always_ see the behavior cited in my original comment.

Sigh, this one's a head-scratcher.
Comment 6 Andreas Bierfert 2005-10-27 16:03:01 UTC 
Hm, mind to try my package? see bug 171526

I will upload a new revision including i386 asap...
Comment 7 julian 2005-10-27 16:19:13 UTC 
>Are you using the wine rpm from winehq or some selfcompiled version?

RPMs from winehq, happens with:

wine-0.9-1fc4winehq.i686.rpm
and
wine-20050930-1fc4winehq.i686.rpm

as the original post says, winehq says this is a fedora and not a package/wine bug:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3416
Comment 8 Andreas Bierfert 2005-10-27 16:29:04 UTC 
Still strange... I thought I have been using 20050930 here as well without any
problems (I only use it to play diablo2 atm but anyway).
Currently uploading new version if you want give it a try...
Comment 9 julian 2005-10-27 16:35:36 UTC 
>Currently uploading new version if you want give it a try...
if you give me a .ix86.rpm i can give it a try...dunno how to install a src.rpm let alone a .spec file ;->
Comment 10 Andreas Bierfert 2005-10-27 19:03:11 UTC 
Sure here you go: just remember this package is under review for extras so don't
blame me ;) (see bug 171526)

Comment 11 julian 2005-10-27 20:55:39 UTC 
hmm as far as i'm concerned you can close this bug.
i did some more testing using stock wine 0.9 rpm and the rpms from fedora.lowlatency.de and it turned 
out that the problems i've had were related to a specific .EXE (had to set sound to emulation in order not 
to get an unhandled exception).
Comment 12 Dave Jones 2005-11-10 19:01:20 UTC 
2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 has been released as an update for FC4.
Please retest with this update, as a large amount of code has been changed in
this release, which may have fixed your problem.

Thank you.
Comment 13 Joe Christy 2005-11-15 19:59:17 UTC 
I still get crashes on one of my two FC4 machines, but not the other.
After building a fresh wine from today's CVS from winehq, the user environment
setup program wineprefixcreate crashes with the following backtrace.
Comment 14 Joe Christy 2005-11-15 20:03:55 UTC 
Created attachment 121086 [details]
WineDbg provided backtrace of wine page fault

This no longer locks up the machine.
Comment 15 Andreas Bierfert 2006-01-18 10:00:32 UTC 
Does this still happen with the current wine version from FE?
Comment 16 Dave Jones 2006-02-03 05:09:31 UTC 
This is a mass-update to all currently open kernel bugs.

A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.
