I did find one entry where someone made a backup copy of wine-pthread from an older wine install and that works for them but I am not that good with linux yet.  I suppose I could uninstall wine, disable wine repositories for latest version, and lock myself in on whatever version comes with 8.04 from official repositories.

My mistake.  With the most recent Linux kernels, pthreads is the ONLY thread method supported.  Thus, there is no need for wine-pthreads anymore.  I don't know how to access the current Wine threading methods, but they are all pthread based.
