Summary: Problem with variant array allocation in Wine
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2

Hi all,
I was trying to use a statistical program called PAST under Wine. It use to 
run OK, but recently (with new Wine versions - wine-20030508, rpm version for 
Mandrake 9.1) I get some problems related to variant array allocation.
Following is the feedback from the program owner, Oyvind Hammer 
([e-mail]). The Program site is

To be precise, the problem is as follows. In Delphi, I do
a:=VarArrayCreate([1,2,1,3], varDouble);
This should allocate a variant array of size 2x3. And as
expected, when I query the dimensions of the array in
Windows, I get
VarArrayHighBound(a, 1) = 2
and
VarArrayHighBound(a, 2) = 3
However, under Wine I get the reverse, meaning that
Wine has allocated a 3x2 array:
VarArrayHighBound(a, 1) = 3
and
VarArrayHighBound(a, 2) = 2
This causes "Variant index out of bounds" when I refer
to the cell a[1,3] for example.
