Yes, that would definitely be worth a try. There have been several 
patches since then to fix bugs in that area. The most recent Wine 
version is 0.9.26, and that would be the one to try.

Hmm... I am not sure why it would do that. I am guessing you set the 
override only for the application? If so, try setting it for everything 
(all applications should work fine with a native msvcrt), and see if 
that works.
