I tried this on a 5.3-RELEASE machine with the current CVS sources of 
Wine and could not reproduce this.

Note that I used current sources as opposed to the 20050419 snapshot
and I'd be surprised for this to make a difference, but I'll try. However,
I do not have access to NTFS volumes, just native ones, so perhaps that
makes a difference?

I'll try to reproduce with the "old" snapshot, but if I cannot, I 
recommend to contact the upstream developers (see http://www.winehq.com 
for details).
