No, just 0.9.22 which I thought was quite recent. If there are known
file reading problems, the latest may definitely be worth trying.

It uses flexlm, so one needs to request a trial license. The problem
unfortunately only appears after it checked for the license.

Ok, I verified, and this shows up in the log, with msvcrt set to
"native" in winecfg:

andreas at fels ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/temp $ grep -i msvcrt dll.out
trace:loaddll:load_native_dll  Loaded module
L"C:\\windows\\system32\\MSVCRT.dll" : native
trace:loaddll:load_builtin_dll Loaded module
L"c:\\windows\\system32\\msvcrt.dll" : builtin

So it seems to load first the native and then later the builtin ?
