We now have a bug report for the same issue:

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13608

 From looking at the attached res/report file, it crashes at that same test.
I'm not sure if this is the relevant info about his graphics card:

d3d9:visual start dlls/d3d9/tests/visual.c -
visual.c:181:Driver string: "ati2dvag.dll"
visual.c:182:Description string: "Radeon X1950 Series"
visual.c:183:Device name string: "\\.\DISPLAY1"
visual.c:184:Driver version 6.14.10.6783

It appears that at least 2 users are bitten by this issue. Not something we want 
to happen I guess, but I have no clue how to fix this.
