Is it only that patch that needs to be reverted to make things work got

For me It seems as if the patch is not that huge, and manually do a 
copy-paste

with the help of a diff tool can be done.

It seems as if even both implemenations can live side-by-side in the code.
And if there is a run-time detection for wine, we could switch between the
old one and the new one which is dependent on how MSVCRT.dll has layed out
internal data structures:
 ioinfo structure (exposed by MSVCRT.dll via  __pioinfo

Why is fixing Wine not an option? The guy working on MSVCRT in Wine is
very responsive; all that is needed is just a bug in
https://bugs.winehq.org/ and he'll look at it. Or give me more details
and I'll create the bug entry.

We frown upon detecting Wine just to workaround bugs there.
If one insists on workarounding Wine then please detect the broken
behavior instead. That way the app will automatically use the default
code path once Wine is fixed.

Not an option as in _I_ will be working on it. I don't suppose lots
of people use git on wine to be worth the trouble, but then again
making wine msvcrt more compatible is probably a good thing so I'll
open a bug for wine.

Thanks! This is actually a very important use case for Wine:
Making it easy for OSS developers to test the Windows builds of their
software without having to use Windows.

Have you tried using a native msvcrt.dll instead of the Wine stub?
Downloading msvcrt.dll 7.0.2600 from dll-files.com and extracting it to
~/.wine/drive_c/Windows/System32 fixed the error message for me.

(The newest versions don't work as they depend on a bunch of other
dlls that you'd need too.)
