Address 0xfffffff4 is evidently a temp. data address used to communicate with
ODBC (Available for download as MDAC_TYP.EXE).

Possible wine fixes:

I'm new to wine hacking but I could suggest adding a debug output when common
database-related messages appear, such as if debug="read access to 0xfffffff4"
echo "Is ODBC (MDAC_TYP) correctly installed?"

Evidently, if you do not install MDAC_TYP.EXE, Liberty installer tries to
install MDAC 2.7, which requires IE > 4.01 SP2 and DCOM98*.  DCOM98 installer
often won't work without native ole*.dll...

I haven't tried this yet but some sites suggest compiling UnixODBC for linux and
configuring wine to use that instead of installing Microsoft's MDAC_TYP.EXE

If the above suggestion works, a better "fix" would be to have wine detect the
install of MDAC and automatically download and install the non-M$ alternative,
sort of like what it does for the MozControl.

This could be a duplicate.  Lots of ODBC apps out there.
