In Wine-1.3.25 Zombie Driver stalls in a matter of seconds after a new game was
started.

Symptom: sound begins to stutter and framerate drops dramatically in a couple
of seconds mid-game, the game hardly responses to keypresses. The game doesn't
turn into "zombie" completely, if I press <Esc> several times I'm able to go
back to the menus where the framerate and mouse responsiveness are okay. As
soon as I resume the game, the issue is there again.

Workaround: disable shadows (in the launcher). The game offers 3 choices for
shadows: none, normal, soft.

I can reproduce the problem with the following game versions: 1.1.2, 1.1.4,
1.2.2, 1.2.6
The demo, still at version 1.0.6 is not affected.

Regression testing pointed to:

The patch can be reverted cleanly on 1.3.25 and that fixed the problem.
Author of the patch added to CC.

I'd like to add that this was the commit that fixed a long-standing graphical
problem in the game: dark, diagonal lines appeared across the screen when
shadows was enabled.
