The Wine socket implementation has problems when it comes to select.  A fix
for this problem is not currently on anybody's radar.

The application uses libraries that are only available on Windows.

No, the Linux version is a .so.

However, now that I have two threads with synchronization between them, all
seems good:

	EXE <--> Wine DLL (Win32-aware thread)

	Wine DLL <--> Linux .so (pthread_create thread)
