software built and worked under wine but not in vista?

Thanks for everybody who advised. I have filed the two bugs under:

[Bug 22813] wine's loader does not check invalid image size
[Bug 22812] mt creates corrupted executables

In a nutshell, just before running mt, wine and vista generates very similiar
executables (differing by 4 bytes, two about time stamps and two seems to be 
some padding at the end of the import table?). Then the mt makes the executables 
  invalid (at least under vista and also according to one of you, from win7).

And wine certainly doesn't behave like vista in rejecting the executables and 
happily loading them...
