Frequent and annoying Wine bug

[Robbert Xerox]

Hi , i know this is not a wine-bug channel, but this
bug is affecting quite some apps, and seems to affect
more and more ...
At least five apps from wine-bug mailinglist throw up
an exception which either reads: "Assertion Failed
!bogus context in Local_Unwind()" or "in
Exception_Handler". As a reference a filed 2 bugs, and
commented another one where you can read the
+relay,+seh logs:
 Bug 3097
 Bug 3127
 Bug 3139

Some googling around makes me believe that this is a
Borland specific error. I tried to install Demo
Borland compiler in wine to see if i could reproduce
this error, but unfortunately it fails with exactly
the same error.

all programs show the same pattern before an exception
is thrown: they call LoadstringA() ,with something
like 
 L"Failed to get data for '%s'" or L"Access
violation at address %p in module '%s'. %s of address
%p" See the bugs for more info.

I think this bug is really affecting quite some more
apps then the ones mentioned in wine-bugs so would be
great if anyone could shine a light on this, as of how
to solve the bug. Regards

I tried several of the apps you mention and they all work fine here,
so I suspect some sort of glibc/kernel issue. You should provide more
details on your setup, and ask other people who see the problem to
provide details too so that we can see if there's a correlation with
kernel versions etc.

I have seen a bug pretty much like this in an application and here's 
what Mike Hearn had to say about it:

I've attached the patch so you can try it. That's not code I can comment 
on but maybe Mike will when he's back from his not-quite-vacations.

Hi, late response, been on holiday :). The patch from 
francios gougetdoesn't fix the error. I dug a little
deeper into this:I had a knoppix live cd lying around
and there bug is not present. A program like Neatimage
(www.neatimage.com) startsup just fine there.  I also
did some tracing to see where the difference is. I'm
quite noobish in this so correct me plz if i'm wrong:

On knoppix running neatimage fine i see this:

Looks to me as if an exception is thrown, wine is
handling the exception and the program continues fine

Looks to me as if an exception is thrown, now the
program itself tries to handle the exception, and the
program exits with a window abnormal termination.

My question really is why the exception is handled in
two different ways, what could be the cause of this?

If this helps: one guy on the buglist got this error
after upgrading from Fedora Core 1 with vanilla kernel
2.6.10 (which worked
fine) to Fedora Core 3 with kernel 2.6.10-1.766_FC3
