Upgraded to v.2.3; all seems fine for now. NO crashes to report. FYI: Mint 17.3 still downloads Wine 1.6.x. Not able to get it via software mgr.
Personally speaking, i would mark this bug as INVALID since the fault wasn't in whatever application you were running but an outdated version of Wine.
As for getting the latest build of Wine for Mint, you might as well forget about Mint ever updating their version of Wine and find a Wine PPA for Mint that offers the latest version.
