it is possible to delay this blocking error by installing the unofficial
Manalink 2.0 patch. This allows to at least play the duels.

Starting the Deck Editor or the Shandalar campaign still crashes the game with
the same error, but at least you will have something playable.

See "Magic The Gathering" version "Manalink2.0" in appdb:

the keyword 'regression' should be added to this one.
Wine versions 2005* and at least until 0.9.5 did not have this problem.

the keyword in itself is not much help unless you can run a regression test to
identify the change which broke the program

The full program plus manalink is available from various sites.
Instructions are available in the appdb entry here:

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=15046

Correct installation is more difficult than the download itself.
I tried to document how to do it in a dedicated HOWTO in the same appdb entry.

I tired, but unfortunately after a couple iterations I ended up with a
non-building version.
I tried cleaning the tree and starting with a clean .wine for each step, but I
still eventually end up with a non-building version, which I cannot test, and
therefore I don't know whether to mark it as bad or good.

We'll need the regression test results, but not gonna lie...it's gonna be a
pain in the butt.

an undefined boolean type caused havoc on my machine.

I had to craft this trivial small patch in order to make it build on my system,
and seems necessary for most 0.9.x versions.

It should be considered that the error reporting in newer wine versions is very
different (this 'exception frame is not in stack limits' is only in the later
wine versions).
I attach the older error reported, which I assumed to be the old representation
of the same issue reported as 'exception frame is not in stack limits' of the
newer wine versions.

Same problem with wine 1.1.38 and the demo of the game Obscure.
(and maybe bug 19140 is a duplicate of this...)

I tried wine 1.1.42 and something seems to have changed for the better.

This regression introduced in 2006 seems not to be present anymore, can someone
else confirm this?

The behavior of the application is how back to the one described in bug #2766
in 2005, at least for me. Hurrah?

Not for me (amd64, 1.1.42). Shandalar.exe crashes immediately with the
following output:

err:winedevice:ServiceMain driver L"SecDrv" failed to load
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element
fixme:dsalsa:IDsDriverBufferImpl_SetVolumePan (0x174720,0x17afb0): stub
Segmentation fault

Magic.exe however starts and I can try to play a duel, but it hangs after a
while. Usually in turn 2. Moreover - graphics is mostly corrupted (background,
icons, and so on. Cards however are ok).

this bug is fixed. There multiple other issues with this game, but THIS problem
(Exception frame not in stack limits) is solved.

I have played the game and will update the entry in the Wine APPDB to reflect
this and other positive changes related to this application.

happens again with wine 1.5.25.
But you can leave it at that, I don't care anymore, I don't expect wine to be
able to resolve its regression issues in the development process.

I suggest to change the state to abandoned.
