Right: 6.4b error | Left: 6.5c error

6.4b tested on:
 - openSUSE 10.3 / wine 1.1.?? (I don't remember) from
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine/openSUSE_10.3/ -> OK
 - openSUSE 11.3 / wine 1.2-rc6 from official repositories -> FAIL
 - Ubuntu 10.04 / wine 1.1.42 from official repositories -> OK
 - Ubuntu 10.04 / wine 1.2 from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa
-> FAIL
(openSUSE and Ubuntu on different computers)

The REGRESSION TEST revealed this for both modelsim versions:

Steps to reproduce:
 - Download Modelsim XE 6.5c from
http://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.htm (registering is mandatory, but
free). Look for Modelsim XE, not ISE.
 - Uncompress and run wine setup.exe. Select the free version. Select VHDL
Custom. Deselect all libraries. At the end say NO when asked for the USB key,
and then try to complete the licensing process through the webpage. I HAVEN'T
TRIED TO REQUEST THE LICENSE SINCE I HAVE MINE. In case it isn't possible to
get the web way to work, complete the lic_request.txt form and send it by mail.
Then wait a few days to receive your license.dat. (I would attach my
license.dat here, but I'm not sure if that's legal).
 - Make sure you've an external MFC42.DLL (I would upload mine, but don't know
if that's legal. In place I'll put its MD5: 7e4d1b552ee1dfa859ba9033b3670590) 
 - Find the Licensing Wizard link, run it (wine start Licensing\ Wizard.lnk)
and follow instructions.
 - If variable LM_LICENSE_FILE fails to be set automatically, set it manually
with regedit (It's value is the path to the license.dat file).
 - After the second Licensing Wizard run, make sure that all checks completed
successfully. If LM_LICENSE_FILE isn't ok, this won't suceed.
 - Now Modelsim should work, try to run wine start Modelsim.lnk.

Notes:
 - Almost everything I've tried in this software worked fine with wine, so it's
a fully supported product (once this bug gets solved, of course)
 - Modelsim windows are extremelly slow, don't think that to be a wine problem.
 - Known fails (but not problematic nor related to this bug):
   - On project navigator, contextual menu sometimes fail when used with mouse,
but works ok with arrow keys.
   - Startup splash window is white! I don't consider that to be a problem.
