I don't think anybody has a fix yet. The work TransGaming contributed was prototype code for using pthreads on non-x86 platforms iirc, it may well prove useful in the upcoming port to pthreads, but it's not a total solution On Mon, 2003-02-24 at 06:40, Joe Millenbach wrote: Did I read that

Well, there are easier ways :) Just run an app in winedbg, then press ctrl-c to halt it. Then do bt to get a backtrace. You'll be able to move up and down the stack frames, inspect local variables and see the source (inside wine code). You can also do disassembly inside closed source stuff, but
