Like you can see here:

bash-2.05$ locate win.ini
/windows/Program Files/WinZip/win.ini
/windows/windows/win.ini

This is my cw3230.dll, like you see, mine is 303104 bytes.
-rwxrwxrwx  303104 Mar 24  1997 /windows/promedia/cw3230.dll

But the thing is, I have it with almost every program that tries to load 
an external DLL

Indeed, I think it was some Redhat version, I think 6.1 or something 
like that..

I wouldn't know, I am using the standard 2.4.5 kernel without SCSI 
support from the slack 8 ISO. Andby my knowing, I don't have strange 
modules loaded which could give this kind of effect to wine.

I don't know anything about strace and to work with it, I tried strace 
wine itt.exe and These are the lastest messages I got :
