Seriously, if an ISP gets you to a spam page for nonexistant.winehq.org, can't 
we sue them for abusing the winehq.org trade mark? This really seems like 
breaking a valid test just to work around broken ISPs.

I admit that I'm a bit miffed that I didn't catch this in the 1-hour window 
between you sending that patch and Alexandre committing it, as it's now my 
time that's wasted by having to try again and again for a patch that gets 
past the discussion the initial patch should have gotten.

But yeah, I agree removing the ok() is acceptable as I'm mostly checking for a 
crash bug. I'll send another patch.

Cheers,
Kai
