--- Comment #2 from C. Leu kle@bluewin.ch --- I have tried this only recently and didn't test this with several other Wine versions. So this could be a longer ago "introduced" regression.
I looks that this seems to have worked for super old Wine 1.7.20. There is at least no information posted about any hang in the Wine PSP9 AppDB test result.
