hm maybe I'm missing something but afaik you will get a backtrace right back into the 
application code, which will help you exactly nothing (unless you have the source 
code of the game and the binary doesn't have its debugging information stripped
which is very likely not the case).
So you have to figure out where you might have returned something wrong by looking at 
the traces from _before_ GetCreationParameters.
The backtrace itself won't give you _any_ clues. 

Unless some app relies on this crashing behaviour(which I doubt), I don't think wine
should implement bugs just because MS does it.
Seems a bit obscure strategy to me to crash in case of an error instead of proper
error checking/reporting.
