Vitaliy,

I think you are missing the point here which is (rather are):

1) Wine was developed to enable running Windows applications on
non-Windows platform;

2) IE6 is a Windows application that used to run successfully under
Wine for many versions, and a simple way to make it run was to use
'ies4linux';

3) when Wine transitioned from version 0.9.40 to 0.9.41 the application (IE6)
stopped running - it has nothing to do with 'ies4linux' because the same
version 'ies4linux' is used;

4) 'ies4linux' just creates a setup for IE6, afterwads IE6 is run
using a command line like this:

/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/install/wine-0.9.40/binsh/wine "/home/sergei/.ies4linux/ie6/drive_c/Program 
Files/Internet Explorer/IEXPLORE.EXE" "$@"

5) the problem I see is in IE6 functionality, and, again, it ran just fine
on many versions of Wine up to 0.9.40 inclusive.

6) since the only factor that changed is Wine, it is the most likely
piece of the chain to blame - or you are going to tell me that presence
of that persistent 'h' letter in IE6 "Address" field IE6 bug and before
version 0.9.41 Wine used to successfully work around the alleged IE6 bug ?

At all, forget about 'ies4linux', start IE6 under Wine whatever way you
like.

If you wish, I can run 'ies4linux' script with '-v' option and post here
the commands it executed, and then you'll have to explain why these commands
cause presence of 'h' letter in Wine 0.9.41 and later and do not cause the
same problem in earlier versions of Wine.
