The only thing Wine Mono related in that log is the upgrade. That's worth checking.
Can you try this: Run "wine uninstaller" and uninstall Wine Mono in the GUI, then run "wine regsvr32 mscoree" to reinstall it. I want to see if that fails in a similar way.
If that's not it, WINEDEBUG=+process might also give some info.
The problem only happens when steam is started however. Other programs start just fine.(In reply to Esme Povirk from comment #6)

Yes, it failed the same way when I tried to uninstall mono. It goes into an infinite loop printing max number of clients reached. The uninstaller said mono version was 8.0.0, but a 9 version was loaded in the trace I captured.
This problem only showed when I was starting steam from a fresh upgrade though. I could start other programs from a fresh install without the hangup/infinite loop.
