Hello,

It fixes the crash reported here too, but don't too exited, the app doesn't
show any data and I don't think it will ever be useful on Wine because it needs
hardware drivers to work.

Correct. It's the same issue with a couple of other applications like cpu/gpu-z
which use helper kernel drivers and direct i/o access + privileged instructions
to gather hardware information.

Actually the goal should be to fix apparent crashes and not getting all this
nasty hardware access stuff to work.
This is indeed beyond the current scope of wine.
Once the performance data stuff gets more mature - which causes the crash here
- I suggest to close this bug.

Any further bug reports regarding real hardware driver operations, like "no
useful information is displayed" should be immediately closed with "WONTFIX" to
make it clear to the users.

Regards
