Hi Anastasius:

I agree splitting this report into two bug reports is the right thing to do. 
However, will you do that please?  I am primarily a free software developer on
Linux that just uses Wine to build and test my software on Windows.  So I don't
have  much understanding of Wine internals or Windows.  Therefore, I don't have
a clue about APC except to try the hackish patch to see if it works (which it
appeared to).  So please go ahead and make a new bug report about the APC
issues as you understand them, but please also include the hackish patch in
that report so it doesn't get lost (as it mostly is currently in
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24018 since that bug has been closed). 
That would then reserve this current bug report for the second issue that
showed up after the hackish patch was applied.

Of course, I realize that Wine developers may decide to just forget about this
second issue until the APC bug has a solid fix.  But a further comment here by
you concerning whether you feel the hackish patch is good enough (or not) to
justify immediate work on this second issue would help to inform their
decision.
