I have started looking into pedump and dumpbin, and the PE/COFF format, but it 
is new territory to me... can you explain either in a private e-mail, or if the 
info is more relevant to the wider audience, how can one tell the image size and 
resource size is 'wrong'? Presumably it is a consistency check of some sort - 
i.e. one part needs to agree with another, and the wine loader is not doing the 
check at the moment.

If I can do that life on linux or elsewhere life would be easier - not booting 
into windows; because then I can see what the 2nd bug is about - tried using 
native imagehlp and there is no improvement, so I probably need to try each of 
mt.exe's dependencies to see which of them breaks the executable. (but I need to 
be able to tell an executable being broken first).
