Of course that applications depend on this stuff. This is common code:
   LoadTypeLib("stdole.tlb", &ptlibStdOle);
   ptlibStdOle->GetTypeInfoOfGuid(IID_IUnknown, &ptinfoIUnknown));
   ptlibStdOle->GetTypeInfoOfGuid(IID_IDispatch, &ptinfoIDispatch));
   ptlibStdOle->Release();
Now with Wine the last Release will cause the typelib object to be 
destroyed and resulting that any later typeinfo references to typelib 
are invalid pointers.

Sorry, I was using slightly (well, not so slighly) outdated version of Wine.
