--- Comment #22 from Jerome Leclanche adys.wh@gmail.com --- Guys, you don't need to confirm this. The bug is known, the cause is known and reverting 2005be6dc92c0943ede01525cecad88f8e83c9c7 fixes it.
A proper fix is needed to land upstream as it doesn't look like the patch will be reverted (something which could be argued but probably not worth doing so).
If you don't know how git works or how to compile Wine, then please, just stick to Wine 1.7.16 and you won't have this issue.
