Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 169652
unhandled thread exception in wine-2005-930 locks up machine hard
Last modified: 2015-01-04 17:22:20 EST
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 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
still occurs with wine 0.9 and kernel 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4
Are you using the wine rpm from winehq or some selfcompiled version?
what about the same machine with an older kernel?
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.
Hm, mind to try my package? see bug 171526 I will upload a new revision including i386 asap...
>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
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...
>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 ;->
Sure here you go: just remember this package is under review for extras so don't blame me ;) (see bug 171526) http://fedora.lowlatency.de/review/i386/
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).
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.
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.
Created attachment 121086 [details] WineDbg provided backtrace of wine page fault This no longer locks up the machine.
Does this still happen with the current wine version from FE?
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. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO_REPORTER state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug.

Closing per previous comment.
