I've tested 4CD SOA (retail and patched) and I can confirm that this versions
works under Wine. I could not find my ToB CD so I was forced to stop here -
damn, no more CD shuffling?

OTOH DVD edition does not work under Wine if winver >= 2k. I'm not sure about
version - as el pointed (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6288#c4) both
26498 i 26499 displays same number in the game main menu. But:
- I doubt that the publisher applied a beta patch
- I don't think that it ever was the 26499 beta patch for my language (Polish)
version
- the game folder contains readme.txt for 26498 patch

I played a bit with a debugger and a dissasembler but my asm-fu is weak. It
looks like crash happens in GUI or string related routines but it is mostly
wild guess. Some locale sensitive Unicode/multibyte/widechar issue? Call me if
ya know...

I'm not sure about closing this bug, since it happens only under Wine - game
works ok under Windows XP SP2. I can see that fixing this bug can be
problematic but I would opt to leave it open.
