Chrome is a first-person-shooter, released in 2003.
The game crashes immediately after starting.
This bug afflicts the sequel, Chrome-Specforce, too.

Both games start properly in Wine-1.3.20:

msvcrt: Use _create_locale instead of setlocale during initialization.

The patch cannot be reverted cleanly on wine-1.3.20-400-g7f426a5, but
git checkout 11bfced55d7a480248b01d9a8cfed73f74e50280  >> crash
git reset --hard HEAD^  >> the game starts normally.

Native msvcrt.dll is a workaround.
