Thanks for the report. Wine 1.3.x is not in the Ubuntu archive (only version 1.2 and lower are), so this bug does not seem to apply. Can you verify that this is a problem with the Wine shipped with Ubuntu?

Regardless, it's too bad that upstream has disabled FORTIFY as the "solution", as it has quite a bit of value. Resizing statically declared strings seems pretty wrong.
