always avoid memory on wrong side of stack pointer
The code which relays stack frames from one calling sequence to another can be
written never to touch memory that lies on the undefined side of the current
stack pointer.  Even though in normal cases there may be no danger in
referencing below the stack pointer (because of precautions with alternate
signal stack, etc.), it is more robust to avoid this.  Debuggers (both code and
human) and other tools may be unaware of the special precautions, or may find
it impossible to comply.
Patch is attached, and will be sent to wine-patches@winehq.org.
