Hi Sascha/Emilia,

I am running into crash both with Putty (64-bit) and Pale Moon (64-bit)
with wine / wine-staging.

# file ./putty.exe
./putty.exe: PE32+ executable (GUI) x86-64, for MS Windows

# wine64 ./putty.exe
fixme:winediag:start_process Wine Staging 2.19 is a testing version 
containing experimental patches.
fixme:winediag:start_process Please mention your exact version when 
filing bug reports on winehq.org.
err:winedevice:ServiceMain Failed to load L"win32k.sys"
err:winedevice:ServiceMain Failed to load L"win32k.sys"
wine: Unhandled stack overflow at address 0x1400bb0aa (thread 0009),

I have lodged a bug report with the stack trace:

If you have any clues how to fix the problems on my system, please do 
let me know.
