Message

I'm on ArchLinux (3.15.3-1-ARCH) using PlayOnLinux 4.2.2. The script resulted in a unusable wine installation erroring when reached the reboot command (POL_Wine_reboot):

modify_ldt: Invalid argument

I went line-by-line and the

Set_OS win98

instruction causes the issue. So after skipping that step I've managed to get a stable install and a running game. Let me know if you need other details.

This is caused by recent Linux kernels preventing 64bit code from calling 16bit code: http://linux-kernel.2935.n7.nabble.com/tip-x86-urgent-x86-64-modify-ldt-Ban-16-bit-segments-on-64-bit-kernels-td838675i120.html
On 3.13 it prevents running many Windows programs, since 3.14 behavior can be reverted by adding
abi.ldt16 = 1
to /etc/sysctl.conf
