Hi Jacek,
These are functions that I missed when revieweing Gecko headers. I will probably change their calling convention in the next Gecko release.
In that case, why not change the calling convention now? The matrix of possible configurations is much simpler that way.
Right now, we have: current Wine + current gecko = crash
By changing the calling convention in Wine, we have: Wine <= 1.3.23 + current gecko = crash Wine 1.3.24-?? + current gecko = no crash Wine ?? + current gecko = crash Wine ?? + new gecko = no crash Wine <= 1.3.23 + new gecko = crash
By doing a new gecko release, we have: any Wine + current gecko = crash any Wine + new gecko = no crash

There is 1:1 mapping between Gecko and Wine version. You won't be able to use current Wine with the new Gecko nor future Wine with current Gecko. And doing Gecko release is quite not that simple to do it for such a minor change.
BTW, the current plan is to do the new Gecko release together with Firefox 6 release, which is about 6 weeks from now. The first beta version should be out in a week or two, depending on how Firefox beta will behave.

Then shouldn't the beta have the calling convention change anyway? In this case, it doesn't make sense to me to change Wine for just a few days. --Juan

No, beta will require manual patching of Wine, it's not going to be in the main tree.
