One of the many reasons I appreciate your participation in the
community is that you demand excellence. You are persuasive that
complete and absolute stability should be required of X. That does not
imply, however, that this bug should be removed from Wine's bug list.
"The Right Thing(tm)" is for all of us to expect that that _every_
package be "bulletproof and immune to crashes caused by non-root
apps."
Happy Trails,
