The article walks through a detailed debugging session of a Windows program that crashes under Wine. The author uses Wine's debug logs, Valgrind, and the rr record‑and‑replay debugger to pinpoint an execute‑page fault likely caused by stack corruption after a call to png_read_info.
Background
Wine is a compatibility layer that lets Linux users run Windows binaries, but subtle differences in the runtime environment can cause crashes that are hard to reproduce. Debugging such issues often requires low‑level tools beyond standard logs.
