             Bug #: 32832
           Summary: Wine logs fill the HD in a few seconds and bring down
                    the machine
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.22
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: scallegari at arces.unibo.it
    Classification: Unclassified


After the update to wine-1.5.22, on a kubuntu quantal 64 bit machine, with the
wine shipped through the wine apt repo, I have a huge issue.

Wine floods the screen with 'fixme:wtsapi:WTSWaitSystemEvent Stub (nil)
0x00000078 0x94e964' (which is bad but tolerable).

Most important it fills .wine/drive_c/users/callegar/Application
Data/APP_NAME_NON_STRING/Logs with HUGE log files. In a few seconds these may
reach many GBs, fill the machine HD and bring the machine down.

The log files have names such as
2013.01.28_12.26.08_PID000033_HelperService.HTM
and
2013.01.28_12.26.09_PID000041_ConversionService.HTM

The file giving issues is the helper service one, that gets filled by

Win32 error in file
M:\TemporaryBuilds\2\80\Sources\soda-release\services\HelperService\SessionWatcher.cpp
in line 221 code = 2. Message: File not found. 

In just *one second* of wine, this file got to 42MB.

Would be nice if wine did not enable this log mechanism by default, but only
after a command line flag. Also, it would be nice if repeated messages could be
squelched. Finally, why not printing also which file is not found in the log?

As a workaround. Make  .wine/drive_c/users/callegar/Application
Data/APP_NAME_NON_STRING/Logs not writable by anybody.
