I just checked on my version of Win2K Pro and the application fails to start
there too. If someone could check with XP (maybe it has some funky 'old
application detection' mode to cope for that), it's the demo for Theme
Hospital that can be downloaded there:

Just try to run 'hosp95.exe' and if the application just starts and exists
right away, you will have the bug.

So now we have two choices: either say 'well, this is a broken application,
it does not run at all on modern Windows OSes' or add some special case when
we set Wine's version to be 'win95' or 'win98' (a bit like we already do on
instruction emulation needed by old games like TombRaider 2).

As to how to progress from there, I am at a loss :-)
