Today's 3.3.5 patch from blizzard seems to have KO'd WoW on all my systems. As this is a required patch, this effectively reduces WoW to garbage status (assuming its not just me).

Immediately after entering login information, a illegal instruction error occurs. This may be related to the introduction of Blizzard's "RealID" system, which uses a 'Battle.net.dll' that is known from Starcraft 2 Beta to have anti-debugging measures in it. The patch that was created for SC2 to work around this does not work in my case.

I ran a +relay trace and generated a 4G (!!) log file, the last 5000 lines of which are here:

The illegal instruction occurs at line 2492. I could be mistaken, but it looks like it is indeed attempting anti-debugging nonsense immediately before the error. I am recompiling wine on an older GCC version (using Arch linux/AUR packaging scripts which are basically just ./configure && make) to rule out those issues, but this could take a while.

Let me know what else I can do to be of assistance
