Go to gmane.comp.emulators.wine.devel.cvs and look at date you have 
found and you will find this link to the patch. 
http://cvs.winehq.org/patch.py?id=16245
and the log message Make lstr* functions inline inside Wine.

It would be best to also file a bug and include Regression and patch id. 
Download keyword url for the application.

A starting point to move things along and narrow down the location of 
the problem is to with current CVS run

WINEDEBUG=+relay wine pathtoyourapp/app.exe

a 100 or so lines before the exception along with the backtrace should 
be added to the bug. At that point additional traces may be requested.
