The game does no longer crashed with this workaround applied against wine 1.6-rc3. I played for 5 hours straight and left the game normally after getting killed
The patch does work for me, however it also causes a lot of trouble with games and the steam overlay. For instance, flatout 2 and the entire bethesda lineup (fallout 3, the elder scrolls series) won't work unless the steam overlay is disabled. It might be possible that exporting the variables as shown in comment #16 is a better fix.
