           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.10.
          Platform: Other

Hi,
I have wine 0.9.10 on a gentoo linux box and wanted to play chess on wcn
internet chess client (they don't tell the version on the site - latest I
guess). I even checked your database and it appeared in there as working.
The installation went smoothly and everything was good. But when I browsed to
.wine/drive_c/Program Files/WCN and executed "wine wcn.exe" I got 2 dialogs with
the following errors:
Dialog 1: OLE Error 8000FFFF
Dialog 2: Access Violation at address 0053DF7E in module 'wcnchess.exe'. Read of
   addresss 0000032C

and the following output to the console:
err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=(nil)
err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=(nil)
err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=(nil)
err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=(nil)
err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=(nil)

... at this point it was hanging and I had to CTRL-C

The bug is very reproductible and is the same on Mandriva Linux. 
I hope I have been specific enough. I know there are other people complaining on
the wcn forums that they can't play on linux so if you fix this you will make a
lot of persons happy.

Thank you very much for giving your time,
Stephan Badragan
