No, it is a known bug that exists already far too long. With your help I
like to create a fix for it.

The problem lies in determine what exactly the file system is on one of
your simulated drives, this is supposedly a FAT file system (FAT12,
FAT16, FAT32).

First determine what drive this is. If you are not sure, run wine like:

WINEDEBUG=+file wine ...

and make it crash. There should be a line with CreateFileW just before
the crash, the name of the device in the form "\\\\C:\\". 

Then assuming it is drive C:, and your ~/.wine/dosdrives/c: points to
the mount point of a mounted file system, lets say /dev/hda1.

Then make a copy of the superblock this way:

dd if=/dev/hdax of=superb.bin count=4

(/dev/hdax is the device you found in the previous step)

and send me the file superb.bin
