Ecco Pro hangs when accessing "2nd level" dialogs

[Don Dwiggins]

I'm a heavy user of Ecco Pro on Windows, and am trying to port myself as 
completely as possible to Linux (Ubuntu currently).  Wine does a good 
job of supporting most of Ecco's features, but there are a couple of 
places (unfortunately important ones) where it hangs up tight.  I've 
just submitted Bug #5335 about this problem.

I'm a long-time programmer with good (if rusty) knowledge of C/C++ and 
Unix, just getting up to speed on Linux.  I'm at the point where I might 
be willing to tackle this myself, if the learning curve isn't too steep.

I'm posting this to ask for guidance on the best way to proceed.  At 
least, if there's a good way to get more information on the hangup, I'm 
definitely willing to add to the bug report.

Thanks for any good words,

Great, that you want to help wine.
Did you already got some guidance?

Wine has support for a lot of Debug-Options:

WINEDEBUG="+relay,+seh" wine yourapp.exe 2>&1 >logfile.txt

Wine will log every API-Call and the Result for any DLL, that is present
in wine (+relay) and every exception (+seh).

You can get a GB logfile very fast ....
