Would very much appreciate suggestions how to to proceed
If you want help here, upgrade to Wine 0.9.1 or CVS/SVN HEAD.
Although the Wine developers will punk you if you as an outsider try
and submit a code patch without a thorough test case, they happily
submit lots of stuff themselves that break things all the time :-).
That's highly misleading. No patch goes in to the CVS if it does not
pass the testsuite. (Atleast on Alexandre's machine) This doesn't mean
that all patches come with an accompanying test, but those that do have
a far higher likelihood of getting into CVS.
The reason applications break is that as bugs are fixed, they often
reveal other bugs, for which there are no testcases yet. That's why it's
important for users to report when their applications break, and to tell
which patch broke it. (Note that even this doesn't guarantee success,
because even then the patch may well be correct even if it breaks the app)
