So, in summary, I am done here. It is possible to get rid of this quite serious bug in few lines change (I can't do it, somebody else would have to), but well, may be it is better to leave it open for several next years, and keep given set of applications crashing ....
Sure, fixing this bug is not your responsibility, but Wine is an open source project...it's not anyone's responsibility. Whichever bugs do get fixed, it's because someone stepped up and made that extra effort. Have you sent a patch to wine-patches? No, I just checked. Sending a patch would at least eventually get you a "no this is wrong because of xyz." You can also write a test case, which would go a long way towards getting this bug fixed.
