Installation of the demo went fine but the game crashes instantly after
starting.

The game received Gold rating on Appdb with Wine-1.1.28
(http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=17976). On my
system the game produces the crash since Wine-1.1.25:

I was able to revert the patch on wine-1.3.14-116-gf45b6c5 and the game started
correctly again.

That app is seriously broken. It allocates a bunch of memory at fixed addresses
without checking that the addresses are available, and crashes if they aren't.
You can probably work around it by setting something like
WINEPRELOADRESERVE=0-70000000

Indeed, starting the game with WINEPRELOADRESERVE=0-70000000 makes it happy and
starts fine with Wine-1.3.14. Thanks for pointing that out.
Does that mean this bugreport is invalid?

Not really, it's still a valid bug, even if the app is brain-damaged.

As it does here, but also works fine in wine-1.3.15 on this system, so I think
you're just getting lucky.

The demo starts fine for me too, tested with several Wine versions
(1.3.14...1.3.35,1.3.37).
Right now I can't reproduce the crash with any versions of Wine.
This is kinda strange because I remember testing this bug a couple of weeks ago
(1.3.35/1.3.36) and the demo crashed at the time.

Resolving as "worksforme".
