Thanks.  (I'm also looking forward to the possibility of
wine having its own stdole32.tlb soon.)

Interestingly, under wine20020605, I am able to complete

Which would be more helpful: me tracking down which patch
caused the regression, or me sending some more knowledgeable
person a minimal test case?

Thanks,
Dan
