With that in mind, it seems that the only thing it's really looking for is that signature. So one idea that I had is a "Shrinker fixer". When Wine loads an executable, it would look for this specific exception handling code, and then NOP out the checks.
Is that a reasonable approach?
No; first I don't really see how you would do it reliably, and even then it could be considered copy protection circumvention thanks to the lovely DMCA. But I see no reason we cannot have the code that calls the exception handler be identical to the NT code, since it seems to be checking only a couple of instructions. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com
