Bug comments restored from Gmane.org: 
 
On my machine (PC Clone, Mandrake Linx 9.0, Wine 20021007 installed via RPM  
from the Cooker tree), Wine crashes with a segmentation fault any time I try to 
run it from a user who does not exist in /etc/passwd. All the actual human  
users on my network are authenticated via LDAP from another Mandrake box, so  
they don't need entries in /etc/passwd (although I've created them now so we  
can run Wine). 
 
This was a bear of a problem to find; I had thought originally that only root  
was able to run Wine due to some config problem. I'm not sure what prompted me  
to try to create a local dummy user and test it. I'm also not sure if the error  
is only related to LDAP or if it will happen with any alternate authentication  
(NIS, winbind or whatever), since all I have to do is stick the user  
in /etc/passwd to get it to work. 
 
I should point out that I also had this problem with Wine 20020804 which came  
with Mandrake 9 - I upgraded to the latest package on Cooker to see if it fixed  
the problem before I discovered what the problem was.

Hmm, sounds like this would be a tad bit difficult to reproduce ;-) 
 
Could you run 
strace -f wine ..... &>/tmp/strace.log 
and attach the log file here ? 
Thanks !

Could you please run wine under gdb and do a backtrace of the crash?

Hmm, sounds like our implementation of pthread_mutex_lock has a problem here 
for some mysterious reason... 
Which libc6 version do you have, BTW ?

I'm running Mandrake 9.0. The glibc package version is 2.2.5-16mdk, but the  
changelog on the RPM indicates that it's actually a CVS snapshot from 8/12/2002  
(with a bunch of Mandrake patches, obviously).
