demo programs (see description)

When launching a console application by calling CreateProcess() without any
process creation flags, wine will not spawn a new console window if the parent
process is not currently attached to a console that the child could inherit,
unless explicitly requested with the CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE flag.

Windows defaults to the behaviour of allocating a new console for the process,
even without explicit request, while wine will not.
This might break several applications that assume to have a console attached
and will crash, for example, when trying to initialize curses.

Attached is a demo application:
Running launcher.exe on windows will successfully open a console for
helloworld.exe after the CreateProcess call.
All tested wine versions however, will not allocate a new console.
