Hello,
After upgrading to F9, my existing Wine installation locks up my
machine hard (X frozen, no ssh response) when I try to run any Wine
programs that were previously installed. Running winecfg by a user who
hasn't done so previously works fine. So it is looking like something
in my .wine folder is making wine *very* unhappy.
Is anyone else seeing this?

I'm also seeing it as well. Since I don't rely on Wine too much I
haven't had time to look into it.

I see the same behavior running winecfg, or notepad.exe or the itunes installer.
This [1] may be the issue, although the workaround doesn't solve it for me. I
still see wine crash the machine when attempting to run the itunes installer
whether I've completely deleted .wine or not, with the low range memory enabled.

I would guess this is bug 441521
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441521
I edited out of system.reg the section that that bug suggests is
triggering the bug, and the crash I was seeing stopped.

Thank you for the pointer.
That certainly looks like the culprit since it does gasp out something
about the spooler before wedging the system. I'll try out the same
workaround (or look at the relevant fixed stanza in the fresh reg file
and do a transplant) and see if things work again.

Just as a quick follow up for others having this problem:
The problem seems to be in the ~/.wine/system.reg in the Spooler stanza.
The difference is that the newly generated functional system.reg has a:
"Start"=dword:00000004
instead of the non-functional old:
"Start"=dword:00000002
Changing that single number (and doing a 'service wine restart' just
for fun) made my wine work again. I don't know why that change would
bring down the entire OS rather than just cause wine to die though.
