           Summary: wine (winecfg) locks up entire pc on startup
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.36.
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: gpongo at iglou.com


When I run wine with any argument (sol.exe or anything), or just winecfg by
itself, my computer locks up. The mouse freezes and the LEDs don't respond to
hitting the capslock or numlock keys. The hard drive light doesn't flicker when
I try to emergency sync (sysrq-s). I have to use the reboot button or power off.

It worked under debian sarge; I installed Ubuntu 7.04 fiesty fawn and wine
didn't work. I rm -r 'd the .wine directory and made sure no previous version of
wine was present before installing wine on Ubuntu (I think it installs 0.9.33).
Both it and 0.9.36 lock up identically. I ssh'd in from another PC, and prior to
the lockup, it prints "err:wgl:has_opengl  glx_version is 1.4 and
GLX_SGIX_fbconfig extension is unsupported. Expect problems." exactly twice
before locking up. The lock up occurs about 5 seconds after that. The GL
problems remind me of bug 5822, except my PC locks up, too.

I'm going to try to get output using windbg and attach it.

Similar problems have been documented by others at these web sites:
