XIO: fatal IO error 0

[Norman Urs Baier]

So, if I did understand right, I have 2 Problems, the first is this minor 
Problem, which is some weirdness in some library which gives this XIO errors. 
I tried again and I've seen, that waiting long enough helps. Because I wanted 
to see if wine really works, I tried to install Office. At the end the 
installer had problems, but the Applications work, so it seems that wine is 
correctly installed. Weird: the first time I launched setup XIO error, the 
second time not (I didn't do anything in between):

baier at exceter:~> wine /mnt/dvd/setup.exe
FIXME:pthread_cond_init
XIO:  fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server ":0.0"
      after 3759 requests (3748 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

FIXME:pthread_cond_init
err:shell:SHGetSpecialFolderPathA folder unknown or not allowed

But assuming that this minor problem gets miraculosely solved some day, the 
other one won't!? Is there a book on pthread_cond_init() ? Do you know what 
they are supposed to do?

  is not going to work unless you know what the pthread_cond_* (init,
  broadcast,signal,wait,...) are 'spoze to do and contribute some code to
  do it.
