Patch against Wine version 1.0.1 to fix this bug
GetSystemMenu() is always supposed to return a valid HMENU handle,
but the logic in Wine's version would return nil in some cases where
windows would return a valid HMENU.  Specifically, when the relevant
windows dwStyle mask did not include WS_SYSMENU, wine would
return nil, but windows would still return a valid HMENU.
I've been trying to run this app in Wine for many years:
http://www.quadravox.com/AQ430.htm
The version I use is 2.0.6.9, but I strongly suspect the problem will
show up in their current versions as well.
You may download a 30-day trial version to verify the bug.
However, I think the logic bug in GetSystemMenu is pretty obvious.
After a few hours of poking
around with assembly code in the Wine debugger, it became clear that
the Quadravox app was getting a nil HMENU from GetSystemMenu even though
its bRevert parameter was false.  Windows on-line docs state that
GetSystemMenu() should return a nil HMENU only when reverting
to the standard system menu.  Real Windows apparently does not check
whether the current window's dwStyle bits are set appropriately, where
the wine version requires this.   That's the easiest explanation
for the behavior I observed...
To replicate:
   create a project in the Quadravox IDE
   try to build it.
Aborts with invalid read from address 0x4 after GetSystemMenu() 
returns the bogus nil handle.
The attached patch fixes the problem for me.
Others should confirm this...
