The aim of this patch is to provide some information to wine developers 
when an application crashes because of an unexpected behaviour of the 
winapi implementation. In this case, the implementation is WINE, and 
fixmes/traces etc... are currently displayed in console. I'm not sure 
that we want to reproduce windows XP behaviour here (understand "Your 
application encountered an unexpected error. What do you want to do : 
send report/do not send) which annoys most people, and is not that useful.
Most wine users, when their app crashes, open a bug report and attach 
the console log. If the log contains information got from ReportFault, 
developers will gain some time, and have the preceding context of the call.

Just my 2 cents :-)
