Do you Windows users experience occasional Bitcoin crashes?
Lately Bitcoin running in wine-1.0.1 has been crashing frequently. I
was just wondering whether this is a Wine issue or a Bitcoin issue. I
speculate it might have something to do with how many Bitcoins I have
since it would crash less when I had less bitcoins and now crashes more
now that I have more bitcoins. It makes me hesitant to send my balance
of bitcoins to my fresh Bitcoin installation. But this might just be my
imagination since it has crashed a few times after installing Bitcoin
afresh.
The following four lines print from the terminal when I start
Bitcoin.
fixme:toolhelp:CreateToolhelp32Snapshot Unimplemented: heap list
snapshot
fixme:toolhelp:Heap32ListFirst : stub
fixme:toolhelp:CreateToolhelp32Snapshot Unimplemented: heap list
snapshot
fixme:toolhelp:Heap32ListFirst : stub
I previously wasn't starting Bitcoin from the terminal, so I don't
know what gets printed out when it crashes, but I'll reply with the
results the next time it crashes.
While Bitcoin first downloads previously completed blocks, the file
debug.log grows grows to 17.4 MB and then stops growing. I imagine it
will continue to grow as more bitcoins are completed.

I haven't had any reports of crashes in v0.1.5. It's been rock solid
for me on Windows. I think it must be Wine related. If you get another
crash in Wine and it prints anything on the terminal, e-mail me and I
may be able to figure out what happened, maybe something I can work
around. Martti and I have been working on a new version to release soon
and it would be nice to get any Wine fixes in there.

Those don't look like anything to worry about. Probably functions
unimplemented by Wine that are harmlessly stubbed out.

You can delete debug.log occasionally if you don't want to take the
disk space. It's just status messages that help with debugging.
bitcoin.sourceforge.net looks fine now. Maybe sourceforge was doing
some maintenance.

Doesn't work right now.
some maintenance.
Still no .deb packages for Bitcoin?
