.38c freezes computer with Winamp 5.35
« on: May 04, 2008, 08:21:00 pm »
The game freezes up the computer (neccessitating a reboot) after about 30 minutes (no noticeable/consistent trigger.  I've noticed that winamp has been playing high notes when it crashes, but that may be selection bias).  This just started up, and I've had them running together before with no issues, and I haven't modified either program.

Sound is turned off in dwarf fortress, no additional plugins are installed in winamp.  With them both at normal priority there's about five seconds of winamp's music stuttering before the computer locks up completely - chaning winamp to low priority simply removes the time spent stuttering.

No freezing happens with either program individually.

Current OS is XP professional, SP2, running on an unmodified R52 Thinkpad.
