--- Comment #2 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2008-12-17 12:53:47 --- Mike Hearn says: "There are two bugs here. The crash is due to another DLL refcounting problem. I'd be interested to know if changing TRUE to FALSE in line 858 in dlls/ole32/compobj.c "fixes" it. The hang is not really a hang - Google Earth on Wine is just really, really, really slow at importing the image."
Sure enough, that change makes the crash go away. I'll attach the patch for reference (even though it's not the right fix).
