That's a common problem with Win9x dlls. It cannot be
completely fixed
because we don't control the layout of our address space;
there are
some hacks that could be done in the loader to make it
less likely to
happen, but I'm not convinced it is worth the trouble. Our efforts would probably be better spent making sure the builtin
versions of the
offending dlls work properly.

Thanks Alexandre. I guess the lesson is to use NT dlls
wherever possible. No way. Wine still has lots of problems with NT DLLs, since they are... NT DLLs ;) Wine's support for NT API is too damn incomplete, so you'll have more luck with Win9x DLLs in most cases. Or just choose to not use *any* Windows DLLs. Might help.
But that means I would have to fix yet more of the bugs in comctl32.dll.so ;-(
Actually what I was doing was trying to run the native comctl32 to see if it corrected the visual bugs so that I would know that it was within that dll. I'll see what I can do about fixing them in a bit.
