I was unaware that you could bootstrap gentoo long after an install, but low and behold it looks like you can. I actually upgraded one of my remote boxes (was Mandrake 7.0) to Gentoo 100% from remote and booted into gentoo, scary 2 1/3 minutes waiting for the server to come back up. :)
Thanks for (inadvertently) bringing this to my attention.

If you can run notepad you aren't affected by the bug because the bug is merciless: the wineserver wont even start because it fails to create the needed socket in /tmp/.wine-$user/server-XXXXXX/ (this stuff gets deleted on wine shutdown). If by any chance the socket is still present, wine will still crash pretty fast.
10-4.
because my ac kernel is crashing, i was gonna try redhat 2.4.20-2.48 (which is what gentoo gives me for "redhat-kernel"). but while i'm at it, i'll try bootstrap gentoo (which recompiles a bunch of core stuff, some of it twice, incl. glibc & gcc), compile wine, and see what happens. guess i have to get the new kernel running first though. maybe, this is too early a redhat kernel to trigger it... ?
