The lockup causes everything to quit working.  Pings do not return 
anything.  Rein in another email has mentioned looking at the sound card 
configuration with wine.  I think that will lead to the right path to 
solve this.

I have only tried the kernels that FC4 have release since 200505.  
SELinux is set to permissive so nothing is getting blocked.

If Rein's ideas do not result in anything I will try this path and see 
where it leads.

I have thought of that and while anything is possible, the lockups only 
occur with wine for the past 6 months.  I have a feeling Rein is on the 
right track with the sound card.

Thanks for the feedback.  Taking your time to respond is appreciated.
