I didn't really look how winetest works and I have some other
things to do so I can't help at the moment, sorry.

That means that a compiler used for producing the test is broken,
because both MS' cl.exe and gcc --no-cygwin produce a working
binary.

Same here (GCC 3.2.3 (mingw special 20030504-1)). It appears 
that this compiler defaults to --malign-double. When I
specify --mno-align-double the test succeeds.

What kind of info do you want to copy from winetest edit boxes?
