Unfortunately, at my level of (un)familiarity with Wine, it's not at all clear which of those are caused by problems in FreeBSD, or what those underlying problems are. Some have comments indicating they also happen in other OS, thus presumably not caused by "OS limitations" (or at least not by limitations unique to FreeBSD), and some seem to happen on old FreeBSD releases; but I found only two comments (in 12839 and 13607) to the effect of "this happens because FreeBSD can't handle thus-and-such." (WRT those two, the iphlpapi issue is already being worked on and may have been fixed in FreeBSD 7.0, and ZFS cannot be a factor for me because I'm not using it.) Based on the description in 13526 it looks as if some FreeBSD Wine users are getting a whole lot farther than I am. For that matter, I was getting quite a bit farther before upgrading to 1.0.r4.
