The backtrace

In Short: Downloaded the setup file from Download.com for Charactermine. It
crashed and forced wine to quit.

After the above I went straight to the source programs website
http://www.charactermine.com/downloads.aspx and tried both the complete install
download and the web install. Both worked just Fine. In fact the web install I
did second and it already recognized that Character Mine had been installed.
After downloading again of course.

So I have to conclude the problem is the install app that download.com sends
you to do a web install. I hope it is the anti cross sale features of wine that
killed the app, because previously when "downloading" apps under Windows from
Download.com they include all the web browser toolbar or some other useless
resource hogging application before you can install the application you were
suppose to be "downloading." 

So far as I am concerned this isn't a bug unless there is no other source for a
given program.

I will attach the actual "download" program and the crash report... err
backtrace. Since only one attachment is apparently allowed and I don't want to 
waste 586k of space here is the link to download site:
http://dw.com.com/redir?edId=3&siteId=4&oId=1770-20_4-0&ontId=20_4&spi=013862d60e076df1d615a57dd5ae7813&lop=link&tag=tdw_dltext&ltype=dl_dlnow&pid=13092662&mfgId=104078&merId=104078&pguid=UayIwAoOYJUAAHpJFPQAAAIt&ttag=tdw_dltext;1&ctype=dm&cval=TIGHTROPE&destUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fdownload.cnet.com%2F3001-2279_4-10814685.html%3Fspi%3D013862d60e076df1d615a57dd5ae7813

Or just go and search for character mine on their site.

You always forget how good fresh energy feels, till you get to a pure source...
