This problem is also experienced with Delphi applications, it is not
new, and it still exists as of current CVS (2005-09-29):
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1598
I have uploaded the sample VB app there as an additional testcase for
this bug. However, it seems that I am unable to assign the bug to you,
since I did not create the bug report.
