same problem with Baldur's Gate on a dual celeron. If I play with an SMP
enabled kernel I'm getting several crashes too often at random times...I've tried to debug those crashed but I was getting nowhere...
app running in DGA mode on a SMP system doesn't seem like the right way
to start :)
I did however find while tracing SEH that the same exception is raised very often just
before the crash:
trace:seh:EXC_RtlRaiseException code=c000013a flags=0
wineserver: thread.c:454: sleep_on: Assertion `!current->wait' failed.
Client protocol error:0x805e0d8: Client protocol error:0x805dd48: read:
Connection reset by peer
In the above situation starcraft would hang and the music loop, and
the wineserver part
would appear when I killed the starcraft process.
Is it possible that it is a kernel problem?
Is just seems wrong to me that a program written for pthreads will
work properly
on UP and not on SMP. Maybe I should post a message to the kernel list?
Or could it be that windows threads aren't designed to run on SMP?

the uniprocessor kernel every time I find an animation, since it seems
