  hi, Mike

  i was "lucky" enough to get into such situation, once:
  http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-devel/2003/07/0229.html

  as no-one have responded to this, i decided to do:
  su -c "make uninstall"; make clean; tools/wineinstall

  this helped :)
  hence, the question arises: why is it bad to just do "make uninstall",
cvs update and "tools/wineinstall" after, sometimes?

  BTW: sometimes i am forgetting to kill all wine processes, so wine
(with any combination of cmd-line) just outputs 0 bytes and quits. maybe
that is a indication of a problem. should wineinstaller kill running wines
before overwriting old executable file(s) or even before doing some
checks?
