c000000 = R/W access
00000003 = File share read/write
security attributes (2b3269ac) not null ? this should be used
only with NT. Not supported by Wine.
    -> Maybe try to launch Wine with -winver win95
00000003 = OPEN_EXISTING
Your app expects to find an already existing file.
00000080 =normal file

The call succeeds; else the return would be ffffffff.

Returns that's a disk file. Unlikely to be the problem.
Checking that is unusual; maybe it's trying to find if the file is
not a remote (network) file for security reasons (?)

It's trying to read... 
Maybe the file has  been corrupted by Wine ? Is it different after
a fresh install ? Under windows ?

No thanks, it's useless most of the time.
You can save yourself the bother of cutting them  by using
-relay=RtlEnterCriticalSection:RtlLeaveCriticalSection:InitializeCriticalSection:RtlDeleteCriticalSection
