But that has to be a bug in wine - that it doesn't check the image size and loads PE with an invalid image size? (how that end up being invalid is a different issue).

software built and worked under wine but not in vista?

To kindly process this situation you should enter a new bugreport, I 
guess.  This list isn't for analysing particular bugs :)

It looks like that.  It would be nice to minimize resulting PE-image and 
to make some loader test from it.  To end it up into this file, eg.:

dlls/kernel32/tests/loader.c

Good luck with your future bug report :)
