--- Comment #8 from Alex Murphy amurphy7701@yahoo.com 2008-02-04 13:10:08 --- I just tried with NT4 setting under 0.9.54, and you're right, the bug doesn't appear.
The fact is that I always used this program under the default profile, which is Windows 2000 in latest versions of wine.
Using Windows 2000 setting, you get the warning about ioctl under 0.9.53, and the big popup windows under 0.9.54, so there is still a regression here. Moreover, programs tend to drop NT4 support in newer versions, so NT4 setting is not a comfortable solution, just a ponctual one.
