MFC'd, hence this lighter weight patch. It has already been tested
by the folks working on Wine, but I would like a bit more widespread
testing before I commit it. Please test this patch and let me know
if anything breaks. Note that this patch is only for i386.

I've patched and recompiled world + kernel using your patch. I can
confirm it does not hurt but what does it good (my wine already ran
fine despite some DDE and performance issues)? What to look for
especially - any specific test procedures?

Could you try Mozilla Firefox (for Windows) with and without this
patch?

I just gave FireFox 2.0.0.6 a shot using FBSD 6-Stable and all the
various patches on the Wiki page. It loaded and ran just fine on my end.
