Houaiss fails to run in wine 1.1.38 (log)

Hello friends...
I posted a bug some time ago, but the problem couldn't be solved:

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20866

I was told it's a regression, and that I should perform a regression test
myself. Well, I'd be really interested in helping you guys solve this problem,
but I didn't find it so easy to do those regression tests. But I'm willing to
learn, if someone could give me a hand. I tried to follow the instructions at
http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting but got stuck when I got to "Compiling
Wine". I guess this is very typical. I've never done such a job in my life, and
I don't even think I know what exactly compiling a software is although I tried
to read a bit about it...)

Ok, In the 1.0.1. version, the software runs quite well, although I
occasionally have the bug described in my other thread (see above). In the
1.1.38, I cannot run the software at all, it crashes immediately after you
start it. (log attached)

If I try to reinstall the software, it also crashes! (installation log
attached).

I wish I could give up using this programm, since it is proprietary, but I
don't think there is any other alternative. We don't even have comprehensive
ENGLISH electronic dictionaries that are free software, let alone Portuguese
ones! I'm sorry to disturb you... the thing is: I need it for my work, so I'd
be really thankful if we could solve this thing together.

I found a place where you could download the software so that you could work on
the problem, if you think it's worth it:

But I suppose you guys aren't allowed...

Anyway, thank you very much for your attention and help!

Zac
