Subject260test2+O10int breaks : Re: WINE + Galciv + Con Kolivar's 09 patch to 2.6.0-test1-mm2
Update: 260-test2 with O10int has returned wine+galciv to freezing the 
whole computer on starting the game. The intro avi plays less than 1
second and the machine freezes up. I can swtich from virtual terminals
but not enter any input.
