If you get another \ncrash in Wine and it prints anything on the terminal, e-mail me and I \nmay be able to figure out what happened, maybe something I can work \naround. Martti and I have been working on a new version to release soon \nand it would be nice to get any Wine fixes in there.\n\n> The following four lines print from the terminal when I start Bitcoin.\n> fixme:toolhelp:CreateToolhelp32Snapshot Unimplemented: heap list snapshot\n> fixme:toolhelp:Heap32ListFirst : stub\n> fixme:toolhelp:CreateToolhelp32Snapshot Unimplemented: heap list snapshot\n> fixme:toolhelp:Heap32ListFirst : stub\n\nThose don't look like anything to worry about. Probably functions \nunimplemented by Wine that are harmlessly stubbed out.\n\n> I previously wasn't starting Bitcoin from the terminal, so I don't know what\n> gets printed out when it crashes, but I'll reply with the results the next\n> time it crashes.\n> \n> While Bitcoin first downloads previously completed blocks, the file\n> debug.log grows grows to 17.4 MB and then stops growing.

It's just status messages that help with debugging.\n\nbitcoin.sourceforge.net looks fine now. Maybe sourceforge was doing \nsome maintenance.\n\nSatoshi\n\n\n"
