[cw-discuss] Miserable 6.0 experience...

[Jeremy White]

Hi Derek,

10.2 came out after we'd frozen our test platforms, so we didn't
test against it at all.

And you're not the first person to report odd troubles like this.

I'm not sure if we've solved this yet, or not; either way, it owuld
really help if you could submit a ticket on it.

(Standard suggestions are to investigate your ulimits and to
make sure that AppArmor is configured to allow wine to run).

Cheers,

Jeremy
