Please bear with this long discursive report.  

I'm trying to run the CD-ROM version of the OED (Oxford English Dictionary), an
old Windows 3.1 app, under WINE.

Currently I have it running successfully on

Ubuntu 18.04
     rquint at Maria-Agnesi:~$ uname -a
     Linux Maria-Agnesi 4.15.0-106-generic #107-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 4 11:27:52
UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
     rquint at Maria-Agnesi:~$ wine --version
     wine-3.0 (Ubuntu 3.0-1ubuntu1)

Ubuntu 19.10
     rquint at Cosmic-Box:~$ uname -a
     Linux Cosmic-Box 5.3.0-59-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 3 15:52:15 UTC
2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
     rquint at Cosmic-Box:~$ wine --version
     wine-4.0.2 (Ubuntu 4.0.2-1)

and

Ubuntu 20.04
     rquint at Twenty4:~$ uname -a
     Linux Twenty4 5.4.0-37-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 3 18:57:02 UTC 2020
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
     rquint at Twenty4:~$ wine --version
     wine-5.0 (Ubuntu 5.0-3ubuntu1)

On a second Ubuntu 20.04 installation the OED crashes
     rquint at disco-box:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/OED$ uname -a
     Linux disco-box 5.4.0-37-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 3 18:57:02 UTC
2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
     rquint at disco-box:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/OED$ wine --version
     wine-5.0 (Ubuntu 5.0-3ubuntu1)

I'm attaching the backtrace.txt generated when it crashes as
backtrace.txt.disco-box. Also, it may be significant that when I first ran the
app on Twenty4, an almost identical backtrace.txt was generated, but despite
the usual definition of insanity, I tried starting it several times and after
three or four attempts it ran without problems.
