Can you try running eMule as an ordinary user.  The function that eMule uses
Ping packets for is to trottle traffic (this is a known feature of the program
that can inadvertantly cause a ping flood as well) so that you can continue to
use your computer to surf and conduct Internet communications.  Running
programs on Linux as root leaves you open to an known ICMP vulnerability as
well (and this is discussed in the eMule how-to.)  This should prevent the
wineserver crash.
