This breaks qmgr:

../../../tools/runtest -q -P wine -M qmgr.dll -T ../../.. -p qmgr_test.exe.so file.c && touch file.ok
file.c:127: Test failed: Got incorrect remote name
file.c:144: Test failed: Got incorrect local name
make: *** [file.ok] Error 2

Thanks, there was a typo in the patch. I'll resend it with the typo fixed.

I believe the patches titled "widl: Support using context handles as the 
binding handle in client functions." and "widl: Add support for generic 
binding handles." will still apply without this patch being committed first.
