Sorry for the slow response, but I've actually spent nearly all day
working, so I only just got back to playing with wine.

I updated my CVS checkout as I see the patch had made its way in there,
and the mozilla installer works fine now.  I'll also add that before the
patch the firefox installer crashed in exactly the same way, but now
works.  Sweet.

Cheers.
