Hello,

The originally reported problem was fixed.  All that'll happen here is that the
title is going to be changed every time one function is implemented, which
isn't useful at all.
--- quote ---

If the specific function is implemented, the bug can be closed.
If the app still crashes on another unimpl. function, open a new bug, targeting
the new function.

"Implement msvcp80.dll" would be a more useful, succinct starter bug, which is
clearly the problem.
--- quote ---

That would effectively create a meta-bug (whole component/API).

Have a look at Wine bugzilla.
Various people created bugs _generically_ targeting msvcp80 either to make Wine
"purist" or missing installer deps reasons. Great idea :|

Almost all of them reference overlapping API sets of msvcp80, technically
making them duplicates.
By targeting specific functions (of a function group, or standalone), these
issues can be effectively decoupled/tracked from each other.

There is still no need to file a bug report on each of the missing APIs (due to
mscodescan reports).
Just file new bugs on demand(!) - when new CRT stuff gets committed and
retesting is done.

By making smaller/specific targets, the work of individual people can be
tracked better (having smaller work packages) and potential regressions of
course.

Regards
