Bug Description
Kernel 3.13.0-29 evidently contains a backport of the 3.14 kernel security workaround that disables 16-bit binaries from running. This causes all wine Windows 95 and Windows 98 applications to fail. The 3.14 kernel also includes a feature to re-enable support for 16-bit binaries by providing the /proc/sys/abi/ldt16 interface. This part of the kernel patch was evidently not backported, so this ability to override the 16-bit application prohibition is not available.
For this reason, I cannot move forward to new kernel releases until this is fixed.
