Wine has been adding a lot lately...Gecko more
dlls...many have been added as a result of Picassa
project.

this can occurr if the newer wine is adding a dll and
ovrride,

Your program which was running before on a native win
dlll now tries to use a new override.

There are also differences between winecfg.

an example here is .0.9.19 can have the windows Not
managed by the window manager.
 If I set that and revert to 20050725 which I had been
using for a production machine. It makes a mess as the
earlier version can't set  (or work well with that
option set)

IOW stuff in the .wine directory particularly changes
in wine configuration and dll overides can cause a
mess when upgrading the wine binaries.

I find the best way to test a new wine is to add a
user and test in the new user. first with a
blank./wine

This is a nuisance but other than a Crossover "bottle"
style setup very useful
