I think wine beat them to death so you can be sure they do work ;-)
Also they are the most commonly called functions that don't mean
anything unless you are interested in that particular area.

+relay is a good starting point to see what is going on. But having a
source, you don't really need it. You should know where is your
program fails what part of Wine (like ole, comctl, file ops, etc.)
Then you can enable that trace and investigate that part.

Sort of. I have a program that just clears whole stack after it's
done. For this I just disabled guard pages that Wine uses to raise
that exception. If your program really runs out of stack - i.e. ESP
points to the last stack page then you need to find out why does it
do that. It could be just a case of nested functions that never return
because they not getting correct results from Wine.

Most of the time, you should be able to find the problem and fix it
in Wine. The hardest part is to find it, not to fix it (unless that is
something really complicated. But then you can't just remove huge
chunk of your program anyway.)

If you can find the problem, I'm sure people here will help you
fix it, if you don't know how. What you can do in this case is to
add a test to Wine's regression test suite.
