I can confirm this bug, now that Fedora 27 has updated from Wine 2.20-staging
to Wine 3.1.

I think this is where WoW starts to go wrong:

WINEDEBUG=+tid,+seh terminal output wine-staging 3.2

I can confirm the bug with wine-staging 3.2 (wine from git + "new" wine-staging
patches from github/wine-staging)

wineprefix is 32bit.

--- quote from terminal output ---
0009:warn:seh:setup_exception_record exception outside of stack limits in
thread 0009 eip 006b47b6 esp f35c945e stack 0x232000-0x330000
--- end ---

This line is the last line in the terminal output.

The game also crash with plain wine 3.2 with a stack overflow(see bug 43656).

I believe the two bugs are duplicates.

wine-staging has 2 patch sets (ntdll_Stack_Guard_Page and ntdll_Stack_Overflow)
that modifies the behavior of the exception handling routines and allow the
game to display its error dialog, but the root cause is probably the same: The
application generates lots of exceptions that overflow the stack.

Hello folks,

resolving as dupe of bug 43656

These Wine-Staging patches are unrelated to the actual problem encountered
here.
