As Juraj sent his message almost simultaniously with mine, I just wanted 
to make it clear that my problem was not the same. It appears that some 
black magic is destroying the content of a variable between calls.

In "DOSFS_OpenDir", there is a variable "unix_path". At one point 
(pretty early, but not at the first time), this is set to my home 
directory ("/home/sun"). The function then calls "DOSFS_OpenDir_Normal". 
Instead of getting "/home/sun", however, DOSFS_OpenDir_Normal gets NULL. 
It calls "opendir" with NULL, and sigsegv is happening.

I am currently trying to compile Wine without optimizations, to see 
whether I have triggered some wierd compiler bug. I somewhat doubt this, 
however, as the several first iterations succeed without a problem.

I'm investigating this further, but if anyone has any idea.....
