SetActiveWindow problem

Sorry, I'm new to wine hacking, so bear with me.

I was playing around a bit the other day trying to see if the tahni
deskmate worked at all.  I tried to run the installer (tahnisetup.exe
available at tahni.com).

It would run, and then crash with a stack overflow.

I've attached the sequence in a backtrace that was repeated many times
at the bottom.

It's wine-20011108, BTW.

Since I don't have the source to tahnisetup it made things a bit
tricky to decipher.  My guess was(is) that the program is trying to
the window as active, which sends a message to the program.  It sees
that it's not active, so it again tries to set it as be active, which
eventually causes a stack overflow.

My awful hack was to just put a sanity counter in SetActiveWindow and
return true after being called a certain number of times.  This seems
to work, as in it causes to program to get farther (it gets stuck on
something else).  Presumably one could check if it was being called
recursively.

I realize that this isn't really useful info, but I was curious to see
if I was right about this, or if anyone had an insight.  Am I right or
did I just get lucky with the hack?
