All, I saw this same problem with a different application, and it 
behaves the same way whether the "Windows version" is NT or 9x.  After a 
bit of research, it appears that NT pids should be less than 65k, so I 
created a patch that makes all of Wine's Win32 PIDs less than 65k.  It 
makes the application I was using work (for winver set to both NT and 
9x), but I had not posted it to wine-patches because I was afraid it 
might break something else.

I will go ahead and post it now, but it would appreciate comments from 
someone who knows more
