Wine and c4d: SMB_GetSocket() freezes c4d

It seems that Wine cannot handle names with wildcards here. Mine 
Cinema4D binary (V6.3) contains strings "\\*\mailslot\maxon.c4d" and 
"\\.\mailslot\maxon.c4d", apparently used to communicate via 
mailslots. I _think_ the former is for communicating with render 
servers on local network and it's what's causing this hangs. If you 
replace "\\*\mailslot\maxon.c4d" with "\\.\mailslot\maxon.c4d" in the 
binary, it will stop freezing. It's a good enough workaround till 
this is fixed in Wine...

Regards,
Vaclav
