Wine does not function correctly under Yoper Linux with kernel 2.6.8.1-7 (this kernel has performance patches applied).
It seems to build fine, but it does not run correctly and running MFC apps do not even open. I tried changing the /tmp link in dosdevices directory, etc but to no avail.
I've tried previous Wine versions and stable May release, but same results. Codeweavers crossover office works, but it's too slow for my purposes.
I've used Wine-20040818 successfully since it's release on Yoper Linux with kernel 2.4.26 vanilla, so that's why I'm betting it's a kernel 2.6.8.1 issue.
Can anyone help?

I doubt that there's any issues with the vanilla Linux 2.6.8.1 kernel, as I use Slackware 9.1/Linux 2.6.8 and Wine works fine for me.
I'd suggest you haven't configured wine right, or your "performance patches" to 2.6.8.1 are at fault.
Wine from WineHQ isn't going to be much faster than CrossOver's wine. They're built from similar code, the only difference is CO 3.0.1 is 6 months older, and has a few extra fixes in it.
