Problem with allocate_large_block

[mhanft]

Hi,

for the last 6 years, I managed to run the German tax software ("ELSTER" with the "ERiC" DLLs) - Windows version - with WINE on Linux (and Mac).

During the ongoing upgrade from ERiC 31 to ERiC 32, my software just terminates without any message. With some debugging, WINE says "unknwon reason", and with some very more debugging (WINEDEBUG=+all or nearly all), I guess the "faulty" position where the crash happens is

Code: Select all

0009:Call ucrtbase.wcsrtombs(4affc033,0032ecf4,1fffffed,0032 ece0) ret=0083be51

"allocate_large_block" is not called by the old ERiC 31 version, but is called by the new ERiC 32 version. Since I believe that this function is rather a WINE than a Windows function, I cannot blame the ERiC programmers (even though they obviously programmed something completely different than before).

If I can't find the problem, I'll lose my Linux and Mac users next April (when the use of ERiC 31 will not be allowed any more).

Any thoughts for further debugging? Or even a solution to this?

Thanks in advance,

-Matt

PS: If someone wants to try out or investigate further himself, I have put the complete log files on https://www.hanft.de/eric/test3132.zip and a test program on https://www.hanft.de/eric/TestEricApi.zip (start with "wine TestEricApi" after renamig the desired ERiC version from ERiC31 resp. ERiC32 to ERiC).

Hey,
I'd like to take a look at this because the problem is also present in "Wiso Steuer: 2020". Did you get any further with this since you created this post?
