plain terminal output

World War One Gold Edition v1.08l never reaches the main menu after starting:
the game always stops at the same point while loading (the progress bar reaches
95-98% when the loading process halts).
The game is still using 100% CPU power, the mouse pointer is movable across the
screen and music is playing but nothing else happens (I've waited for about 15
minutes just to be sure).

The same problem when trying to start the game in Wine-1.0.1, 1.2.3 etc.
The game was installed in a clean wineprefix, no native dlls were used.

I found out that adding WINEDEBUG=warn+heap to the command line makes it
possible to reach the main menu. No additional lines in the terminal appeared
when warn+heap was used.
