Need help interpreting debug log for Wine hard loop

[Miguel Feitosa]

Hi Sean,

I recently tried to get a Borland Gui win3.1 app to run
without success.

Actually, all apps of this type that I tried failed when
initializing with problems relative to GUI construction.

try
wine --debugmsg +relay 

and see if you have [like I did] a situation where

1) A new window call was succesffully executed, a handle was assigned

2) A call that does something with the window gets executed and fails
with an invalid window handle exception.

This was repeated in all the apps I tried.

Something between 1 and 2 was corrupting the windows.
The window did start rendering though.

Sorry not to be specific , the wine history pages may
have some of the emails I sent at the time [march-02].

Send me some logs and I will try to remember if they
have the same problem that I had..
