CCP has released a new client in the normal patch cycle which changes the way
this piece of code uses Python to access these cached ship models, and hence
does not trigger this issue any more.

Obviously CCP do not support Wine "officially", but luckily there are
developers there who are sympathetic to supporting Wine if it can be done
without too much issue.

I guess this particular bug can/should be closed... but it does still leave
this known incompatibility with Python, as well as the fact that Eve Online
will not run with "native" MSCRT, which would presumably have avoided this
issue anyway.

That last point is quite important, becuase the launcher/patch tool will not
run with "builtin" MSCRT... so currently when there it a patch to apply...
which is very often, one must quit the client, reconfigure Wine, reload the
client, wait till it has applied the patch, quit again, reset to "builtin" and
then restart the client again... 

I'm not sure if this is something that is worthy of a separate bug, but it's
worth noting anyway.
