Dear Stephen:

Could you please let me know what your ulimit values, which you use to
be able to run Wine?  I increased my ulimits without any luck, but I
would like to see what yours were set to.  BTW, when I run the following,
I get the following output even though I have 512MB of ram and run as
root in case there is a problem with permissions.

========================================================================

On an older, non-functional notebook with NetBSD 1.60, I was able to run
a year old version of wine with MS-Office 2000.  I packaged that wine and
the fake_windows drive and put it on a my new laptop with a new userland
and kernel from current, and it would freeze in the exact same manner you
described.

I can't help but think that the problem with Wine is likely kernel related,
since everything else in userland (X, browsers, openoffice, KDE, mplayer,
transcode, acroread, java, etc.) except for Wine works great.
