Knights and merchants (valgrind)

[Joris Huizer]

Hello,

As suggested earlier on the list, I ran this game with valgrind (at last 
I tried again with svn, which works better than trying to patch 3.1.1)
There are a few problems: valgrind comes with loads of errors, but only 
indicates which file (*.so) the errors come from (so I need to compile 
wine with gdb debugger support, without optimisations, I guess?)

More serious, it seems wine uses some feature currently not supported by 
valgrind:

x86toIR: unimplemented feature

    x86 segment override (SEG=CS) prefix

Note: see also the FAQ.txt in the source distribution.
It contains workarounds to several common problems.

If that doesn't help, please report this bug to: www.valgrind.org

In the bug report, send all the above text, the valgrind
version, and what Linux distro you are using.  Thanks.

is there a patch for this one?

at least I will recompile wine with gdb debugger support and look at the 
errors valgrind comes with

regards,
