Well, the question is now : is there a win.ini in
/windows/windows ?

this is baffling for me too. It has nothing to do with finding the
file, of course.

Wine is trying to read at the offset 231421 for 4096 bytes - I think
that cw3230.dll should be bigger than that.. Hmm the one I have on
my computer is 229000 bytes. Strange. Maybe your version of 
cw3220.dll is more recent hence bigger.
All I can say is that my cw3220.dll is loading fine under current
Wine.

If this is a regression it could be possible to find the exact date -
see documentation/cvs-regression.

But this could be also a change in the system as you certainly 
were not running Slack 8.0 3 years ago.
I suspect that it could be a system bug or something strange that
you are running in your system -  I still remember this guy who
had patched his kernel and forgotten this small detail in his
post here :-)

Or you can try a strace to find the exact system call that is
failing.
