It doesn't help me much.  I can't see where fd 4 is opened to know what
it is and why you might have conned wine into seeking a pipe or tty.
maybe strace -f would catch it, but maybe not.  Maybe --debugmsg +file
would help.  I _think_ the rest is fallout from this.

And did I guess right about glibc-2.2.3 and gcc-2.95.3?
