           Summary: Crash starting 16-bit software in Wine 7.22 (working

           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified

Backtrace and Terminal Output
The current Wine Development and Staging (7.22) are crashing for me with
"Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0xffffffff in 16-bit code
(02ef:1c22)." on both Ubuntu 22.04 and Arch Linux.
Tested this on Ubuntu using the WineHQ packages and on Arch using the regular
Arch packages as well as a Wine I have build myself, they all behave the same.
First discovered this trying to install Pizza Syndicate, a game with a 16 bit
installer. (https://archive.org/details/computer-bild-spiele-2001-09).
Than I ran into the same issue getting video to work for The Settlers 3 as it
requires the icodecs package from winetricks, the first installer
(codinstl.exe) is 16bit InstallShield.
Finally I tried to test if it is only InstallShield that is crashing so I tried
the Windows 3.1 Calculator (https://archive.org/details/calc_20200918) and it
crashes too with the same message.
All of the above software runs perfectly fine on Wine Stable (7.0.1), I would
therefore classify this as a regression (if i could find the button in
bugzilla).
