I found a bizarre fix, which isn't really a fix. 
If I run "linux32 wine ofp.exe" it works! 
 
This may help explain: 
 
linux32 changes the personality of command  and  all  its  children  to 
return  i686  instead  of  x86_64  in uname -a.  This is useful to fool 
shell scripts or programs that check for the  architecture  explicitely 
into  believing  that  they  run on a true i686 system.  In addition it 
moves the top of stack of the  32bit  child  processes  to  0xc0000000. 
This  is useful to execute some broken applications that break when the 
stack top is at 4GB. On the other hand it limits the usable heap memory 
more than necessary.  When --4gb is specified this is not done.
