... Sorry, I just noticed and I wrote the significant thing wrong. If "copy" application directory (so that these files also take up disk space), then the problem does not arise (apparently, since there are no symbolic links). However, if create the soft symbolic link to the application directory that is outside the prefix (the Z disk was described for the prefix), only then does the crash occur.
Would you mind stepping me through exactly what you have here? It sounds like you're saying that you have two wine prefixes, one for downloading utilities and another for testing where you have a symlink from the second one to the first one. If that's the case (or something similar), could you tell me exactly what your symlink is?
