           Summary: WinBoard console window stops working after 32767 chars
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.36.
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/winboard/winboard-4_2_7a.exe
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-richedit
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: emwine at earthlink.net


To duplicate this problem, the patch for bug 8314 must be comitted, which it
supposedly is as of today.

Install and run winboard from a fresh wine config.  Choose "Use an Internet
Chess Server", and select the 2nd item in the dropdown listbox:
    
    freechess.org /icsport=5000 /icshelper=timeseal

Timeseal is unnessary, so if there is a problem (shouldn't be), then manually
edit out the last option: /icshelper=timeseal

If the app crashes when you click ok, then the patch for bug 8314 is not being used.

when prompted for a login, enter 'guest', and you should get lots of info and be
staring at a prompt: fics$

issue the command "games" a few times.  depending on the number of players, just
once may be all that is required before the 32767 limit is reached.

Once reached, the window is effectively useless.  You can still enter the "quit"
command to exit, (or any other command, for that matter), but the output window
will not accept more data.

This problem is also present in the application BabasChess.

And, I suspect any other application using a richedit for console output, eg.
irc clients, telnet, etc. will suffer similarly.

Using native riched20.dll makes it go away, so it's definately a richedit problem.
