The question should have really been: "Is this to fix a bug in ioquake3 (that may unreliably manifest itself in the native client) or is this to work around a bug in Wine?" If it's the latter, then I'd say it may have been unwise to accept/apply the patch. If it was the former, then this is really a non-issue for debate. _______________________________________________ ioquake3 mailing list ioquake3@lists.ioquake.org http://lists.ioquake.org/listinfo.cgi/ioquake3-ioquake.org By sending this message I agree to love ioquake3 and libsdl.
