So out of curiosity,
I just dug up my old copy of WinBench 96 and tried it again.
The GUI has trouble measuring FILES= and the CRT's refresh
rate, but the workaround of just killing and restarting described
in http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12267 still works.

This time I tried running the 32 bit CPU test.  It launched
ok and burned lots of CPU.  When it finished burning CPU,
I found a results file in c:\windows\temp\zd3.$$$ containing
results:

[Test]
Argument=
Signature=Processor vendor prerelease 2 - expires Nov. 13, 1995. Not
for distribution.
Active=188
Result=5703.43485783837

So, there you go, my compaq presario r3000 is 20 times
faster than a 133 MHz Pentium :-)

The GUI kept outputting
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7ef29420 "syslevel.c:
Win16Mutex" wait timed out in thread 0019, blocked by 0022, retrying
(60 sec)
so something's screwed up, but at least I got some results out of
the thing, which is a first.

The disk test also seems to get launched and do something;
I'm tracking down a problem it has, and will follow up on that tomorrow.
