Now that is very interesting. I have no idea why, but perhaps it's to do with getting Linux's and Wine's memory layout models to coexist in the same space. They are mutually incompatible to Wine has to do some amazing stuff to get it to work. Perhaps 64 bit presents a saner linear memory model than 32 bit and so Wine has more breathing wrong. But I'm just guessing actually ;-) -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
