wine users - Sep 2008 - FindFirstFileA win32 API function return value

I've a windows application that calls the win32 API function FindFirstFileA
on a non-existent file. As stated in microsoft windows SDK documentation at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364418(VS.85).aspx, the function
should return INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE, which is equivalent to 0xFFFFFFFF, when the
file interrogated doesn't exist.
Under windows, the function doesn't return INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE, even if the
file doesn't exist. On the contrary, with wine under linux it successfully
returns INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE.
Does anyone have an interpretation for this strange difference between the
behaviour of this function with windows(the one with the strange behaviour)
versus wine under linux?

According to Wine tests this is correct.

Show some prove. Wine has extensive tests for this and these tests succeed on
_all_ versions of windows. And Wine itself. Check your code.
