Hi Mike - many thanks for the suggestion. I confess that I'm only
barely competent with compiling stuff - I can compile myself a new
kernel but I've never tried compiling wine from source. I usually just
use the latest debian package in testing. I'll give it a go though,
next time I have a free afternoon!

The specific apps which cause it for me are DirectX games (usually
StarCraft and Diablo II LoD).
