--- Comment #1 from Olivier F. R. Dierick  ---
Hello,

Wine 3.0 is obsolete, use a recent wine-devel (current is 4.16).

I can confirm the issue with wine 4.15.

I tried several different UTF-8 characters and I could not discern a pattern.
The issue seems to happens with displayable accented characters that are below
U+0100 code point.
When the issue doesn't happen, the imm fixme is not printed in the output.

Same result with both 32 and 64 bit versions of putty.exe.

Here are details for the current 64 bit version from the download URL.

$ du -b putty.exe
1181568    putty.exe

$ sha1sum putty.exe
159634f187e42b19971f8ea323c91e561ab5f39a  putty.exe

Wine has no issue running other application from the same path, so I'll make
the summary more specific.

Regards.
