The problem is that COM can't find a registered IPSFactoryBuffer for the 
IRemUnknown interface. The settings are stored in the registry and 
should be there after registering the DLL. The solution is to run 
"regsvr32 ole32". This is done automatically for any Wine installed in 
the last 4 months or so.
