I guess the user have a different kernel/glibc than I do (I'm using RH9+updates from RH for RH9+updates from FedoraLegacy for RH9 as of the releases of Wine). The epoll detection/support is not very robust yet it seems.

I remember a glibc update on RH8 which broke binary compatibility for
Wine between before and after the update, but not a similar thing for
RH9.

Original RH9 glibc is glibc-2.3.2-11.9 (
http://mirrors.kernel.org/redhat/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/glibc-2.3.2-11.9.i386.rpm). Last update from RH is glibc-2.3.2-27.9.7 (http://mirrors.kernel.org/redhat/redhat/linux/updates/9/en/os/i386/glibc-2.3.2-27.9.7.i386.rpm). FedoraLegacy hasn't issued an update to glibc for RH9 yet.

Looks like the same major version number to me (before downloading and
examining the packages)...
