Argh, the line where this function is *called* should say
what is the type of the object :-/

Here is the problem. 

If you don't know how is working SelectObject, here is
the scoop : there is only one kind of a given object 
type selected in a device context at a time. When you
select an object in a DC, the current object of this
type is returned. 

What is happening here is that Wine deletes automatically
the *replaced* object because its reference count is 0 (this
is incorrect : 1012 is selected, its reference count should
be 1 at least)

Here you see that 1012 was probably an object created by the app.
Theoretically the scheme is as follow :
- create object
- select it in a DC
- save the returned value (it is usually the default object)
- use the DC
- select the previous value
- delete the created object

I think that is what the app is trying to do (unless it is
horribly bugged, of course - but my guess is that Wine
is horribly bugged :-))

I think you have *my* real email from the mailing list, no ?
In this case you can send me a full trace with +gdi,+relay.
I can now get mails up to 50 MB, but compress it please.
