Except it isn't!  Adding some extra trace to wine gives (somewhat
hacked):

0807f000:err:module:load_library can't load ws2_32.dll
0807f000:err:module:load_library can't load wsock32.dll

The first error seems to be the failure to 'find' kernel32.dll when
requested by advapi32.dll.  However kernel32.dll is found later when
(probably) requested by wsock32.dll.  My guess is that the error is
caused by advapi32.dll trying to load a library that is already on the
'to be loaded' list.  It seems to be errored instead of being loaded.

I'd check the dependency info, but I don't know the NetBSD command that
is equivalent to the solaris 'dump -Lv <file>' let alone the one for
win98 dlls under NetBsd.
