freezes on linux

[unhandyandy]

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04, wine-1.1.23.  Towards the end of level 3 the game always (3 times so far) freezes.

I tried it a 4th time, and this time it didn't freeze.  It segfaulted instead.

Hmm, not sure what's going on there sorry. Are any other Linux users experiencing this bug?

I wonder if it could be related to this: http://www.dyson-game.com/smf/index.php?topic=86.0

I also was gathering a large number of seeds to attack with.

OK, I checked out the entry for Dyson on http://appdb.winehq.org/, and it got a platinum rating when tested with wine 1.1.14.  I have wine 1.1.23 installed, so I used PlayOnLinux to run Dyson with 1.1.14.  And now it seems to work perfectly.
