            Bug ID: 39875
           Summary: Starcraft can't see Direct Cable Connection games
                    hosted on another computer
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.9.0
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ntdll

hack

To reproduce:
1. Add 8250.nr_uarts=<n> to the Linux kernel command line on both computers,
where <n> is the number of serial ports physically present on your motherboard.
This is necessary because of bug 39793.
2. Reboot both computers to reload the kernel parameters.
3. Hook up your null modem serial cable.
4. On both computers, open Starcraft and click Multiplayer, Direct Cable
Connection, Ok.
5. Create a game.

The game does not appear on the other computer until the hosts leaves. Then the
game appears, but you get an error dialog if you try to join it.

If one of the two connected computers is a real Windows machine, there is no
problem as long as the Linux machine hosts the game.

The attached patch fixes Starcraft, but almost certainly breaks some other
application.
