What I understood from Wolfgang's previous explanations is that there is 
currently this situation:

todo_wine
 test1();
/* test1 fails because wine has a bug. As a side-effect, bytes will be left in 
the transmission buffer under wine, but not under windows. */
test2();
/* test2 also fails under wine because of the failure of test1 that influences 
the behaviour of test2, not because the functionality tested by test2 is 
broken. This make it impossible to individually evaluate test1() and test2(). */

So either
* you add code in between that resets the state so that test2 can be run 
independently of whether test1 failed (as Wolfgang proposes), or
* you put the tests in completely different executables so they don't influence 
each other (hopefully), or
* you reorder the test so that first all the tests that currently work under 
wine are run (under the assumption that no regression will ever creep in), or
* you require that bugs in wine routines are fixed in the order that they are 
called in that test (which would be strange)
