Wine 1.1.17 +loaddll +tid

Empire Earth causes an unhandled page fault followed by an unhandled exception
and exits immediately.

This is the same problem as Bug 2247, so this has been ongoing for years.

The appdb shows this app to be gold, but this simply doesn't work for me no
matter what I try, and the HOWTO workarounds don't seem related to the problem.

Tried a NoCD but this made no difference.

I can't find a demo for testing (without registering).

Found one with a horrible downloader, but it works.
http://downloads.gamezone.com/demosfiles/t3305.htm

The demo creates the exact same error, so it's not an obfuscation problem.

Looks like something to do with "Low-Level Engine.dll".

This is a regression since 1.1.14... 
For me the games Emipre Earth and Jericho stopped working from then

Well... I ran a bisect to look when empire earth stopped working and the result
is that it still works :@
I tried to start with 1.1.18... fail 
again... fail, again... fail and again... works with 1.1.18 
However the game jericho crashes since 1.1.15 after the 2nd video all the time
(tried 20 times)

I think the dmusic error is a different bug.  This doesn't get that far.

The NoCD creates a significantly smaller +relay log, but the result is the
same.

Tried vcrun6 but it made no difference.

Empire Earth is one of those fussy apps that requires you to either cd to the
program directory or use wine start /unix to run it. That backtrace is what you
get when you don't. Not a Wine bug.

The game will also crash on start without winetricks directmusic; that may be a
duplicate of one of the other directmusic bugs, but I don't know which one.
That's still present in 1.7.36; tested with GOG version of the game.

Surely the developper tested his patch with this software since there is a
freely download.
Anyway, I tested it and I can confirm that it fixed.

Of course there are extensive tests in a separate commit.
https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commitdiff/296a1eb77bc9e10deb9a8a8cbe...

The patch submission had some additional information on what I've tested.
https://source.winehq.org/patches/data/176042
"Fixes memory corruption related crashes:
- Fixes bug 17766, tested with Empire Earth Demo.
- Should fix bug 24740 too as that is the origin of the workaround
  included in Staging. But BigFish GameLauncher is a pita so can't test.
- Fixes the first crash in bug 31562 and lets the game continue until it
  hits the next crash (unrelated to PChannels)."

Also there is a third follow up patch to remove some of the todo_wine() from
the tests. But that's risky so it will have to wait for the code freeze to end:
