...diabolical I tell you ... when one attaches debug as per link above, the
program behavior alters and the crash point changes..in fact, the crashing
becomes erratic in nature, and doesn't always manifest itself at the same
moment in time...(as opposed to without debug attached, wherein it crashes
reliably every single time at the same place) ....

...to further confound things, I noticed 1.3.33 was out, so I just compiled and
installed same, and it seems that things have changed again. For some reason, a
native dsound.dll refuses to load...(??)...but that aside, using the builtin
dsound lib no longer seems to pull a crash where I described ; now the crash is
beyond this point of loading, and happens further in trying to start an actual
game (it threw a vcrun error on one crash)...

...I can still grab/attach a debuglog as described if you like, but I might
blow things away, start fresh, and look at all this again with wine-1.3.33 to
see where exactly things are...'now'... something's changed..
