I encountered this problem or a very similar one myself, and after a certain
amount of Googling found the cause. It is indeed related to either Shrinker or a
program with a similar name; the program in question claims to compress Windows
executable code in such a way that it remains 100% transparently executable.
While this may well be the case under Windows (I had no problem running the same
copy of MM6 before my own switch), it does not seem to be the case under Wine.

In the course of my Googling I found a program called deshrinker, which is
capable of decompressing executable files compressed in this way; after I
decompressed the DLL, Might and Magic VI ran perfectly fine under Wine.

I believe I downloaded the program from
ftp://ftp.sac.sk/pub/sac/pack/dshrnk16.zip
but it might not remain there indefinitely; where else it might be found I don't
know. I have provided the same .zip file as an attachment to this bug.
