<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Steven, sorry for the slow response, I got tied up in some other stuff. But now back to fun. =) And thanks for your response!<br><br>The application is Lord of the Rings Online. They don't use normal version numbers, so this bug actually started with "Book 14". In Book 14, the problem would manifest as a crash. The current version is "Mines of Moria" and now I will get either a crash (segfault) or a hang, but the result is a hang 6 times out of 7 (or so).<br><br>However, I've run into a more serious problem that I have yet to resolve, and I'll post it in a new thread. This problem is related to what is considered acceptable behavior and what is not and what is considered "reverse engineering". I mentioned that I had the program in winedbg and was examining the threads when I was informed that I was reverse engineering
and any patch I came up with doing this would not be accepted. I found this rather confounding to say the least!!<br><br>Anyway, the hang or crash may occur immediately (under 50 milliseconds) after switching to the LOTRO window or it may only occur after I start moving around. It will always occur within 10 or 20 seconds of having switched to the window, usually within 4 or 5. So if I start playing after swithcing to the window and I make it 30 seconds, I'm confident that it wont crash that time.<br><br>If you want to install this app, I have recently written up a pretty install script to do some enviroment setup and posted it on the appdb here:<br><br><a href="http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14566">http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14566</a><br><br>You can even create a trial account for testing. Unfortunately, it's a 7GB download. One of my shortcomings in
troubleshooting this is that I've never done directx or direct3d, so I don't understand all of the implications of these window events from that perspective (or direct input). I'm going to play more with this today as well.<br><br>Daniel<br><br>--- On <b>Sat, 5/9/09, Steven Edwards <i><winehacker@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: Steven Edwards <winehacker@gmail.com><br>Subject: Re: Dynamically adding debug channels (__wine_dbg_set_channel_flags)<br>To: daniel.santos@pobox.com<br>Date: Saturday, May 9, 2009, 3:16 PM<br><br><div class="plainMail">On Sat, May 9, 2009 at 3:44 PM, Daniel Santos <<a ymailto="mailto:javatroubadour@yahoo.com" href="/mc/compose?to=javatroubadour@yahoo.com">javatroubadour@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br>> Additionally, as far as I can tell, there is no mechanism to change it for<br>> all channels.
This is actually what I need to do since I do not know where<br>> the specific problem is that I'm troubleshooting and I don't even know for<br>> certain that it isn't a bug in the 3rd party software. What I do know is<br>> that it does not occur on windows and I suspect it's a case of the 3rd party<br>> app entering "undefined results" territory and that on windows, this result<br>> is consistent and does not cause a problem.<br>><br>> When I attempt to run the app with WINEDEBUG=+all, it appears to enter some<br>> type of deadlock state before I can even get to the point where the bug<br>> normally happens. This hang is probably due to poor timing management in<br>> the app and may indeed be another expression of the same core problem.<br>><br>> Speaking of the wine task manager, where is that? (or which executable is<br>> it)?<br><br>Its taskmgr in the source tree as wine/programs/taskmgr.<br><br>You
might try doing something like +relay,+seh,+tid for your channels<br>to isolate the problem down. I might be able to help you isolate the<br>problem but I doubt I can fix it for you even if we are able to find<br>it but that's at least a start. What software are you trying to get to<br>work? Can you describe the exact nature of the problem?
