[Wine] app has problems parsing its config file

[ap]

Hello,

I want to make wine run a qt-based commercial, large windows app. I run
wine 0.9.22 on gentoo amd64 and can successfully run other
applications. The app in question starts up fine, asks for which
modules to use and then proceeds to constructs a temporary config file
for itself. However, it then proceeds with an error message by itself
that it encountered a problem parsing this config file at line 1, and
after that there are many more parsing errors.

I compared such constructed config files under wine and ms windows and
they are identical, including frequent weird end-of-line markers such
as \r\r\n. Under windows this file is processed successfully. Here is
the beginning of such a config file:

^M
# 1 "C:\Program
Files\EarthDecision\2.1.2b\Gocad\lib\commands\Gocad.commands.cli"^M
^M^M

produced with cat -v

And here is the critical debug output from WINEDEBUG=+all,-relay

I tried many native windows dlls including msvcrt but to no avail.

Is there a possibility that wine confuses the app., perhaps triggered
by the exotic \r\r\n occurrences ? Any hints appreciated,
