That version of Wine had quite a few errors in the file reading 
functions. Have you tried the most recent Wine?

I suppose this large commercial app has not free trial version? I'll try 
to take a look at your traces this weekend a bit more, and see if I can 
see something.

On the other hand, if you are confident that it was in fact using native 
msvcrt, then the problem would appear to be more subtle. You can always 
verify whether it is in fact loading the native DLLs and by setting a 
WINEDEBUG environment variable to +loaddll. Only pay attention to the 
end of each line where it says "builtin" or "native".
