Is this still an issue in current (1.7.36 or newer) wine? There were some serial fixes a while back that may have helped.

Hotsync manager 1.0 for Palm Pilot worked fine before. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10362 Now it crashes half-way synchronising over the serial port, sometimes after a few seconds, sometimes much later in the process. These crashes reproduce well, and yield a segmentation fault without further information $ wine hotsync.exe Segmentation fault $ I do not know if this means that a part of Wine crashes, or just the application. I added logging, where it seems that the problem lies within the call below: 0009:CallTo16(func=111f:072a,ds=1087,118f,7404,0000,0006) ss:sp=1087:ffd0 It is disappointing that an application that used to work fine, and I came to depend on, is now broken. Logging can be found at Wine HQ: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13296 --- I've recompiled with several versions of wine, especially those that did work with Gutsy. The problem does not disappear. Therefore, I think it's not a change in wine that triggers the problem, but rather a problem in another module in Hardy. --- I just got the kernel upgrade from vmlinuz-2.6.24-16 to vmlinuz-2.6.24-17 (patch for Ubuntu Hardy). Now, the problem is less frequent. It seems that I can introduce the failure by switching electrical equipment nearby. Therefore, I think that the crash occurs after a severe communications failure. Apparently, Hardy generates them, even with no ambient influences, where Gutsy didn't. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.04 Release: 8.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openvz-kernel/+bug/235613/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
