I did find one entry where someone made a backup copy of wine-pthread from an older wine install and that works for them but I am not that good with linux yet.  I suppose I could uninstall wine, disable wine repositories for latest version, and lock myself in on whatever version comes with 8.04 from official repositories.

mkay, back I go!

btw: If pthreads is dead in linux, how come it still works?  Also it wasn't long ago that I did development for parallel applications and we used the pthread library (linux machines).  What method of threading is replacing pthreads in linux?

Thanks much!

Can do but I won't be able to use the same machine/os since this is a server system.  I will try putting the latest wine on my dev machine and see if the long startup persists before submitting the bug.
