last step of bisect for steam client launch failure

I recently tried to run steam client on upstream wines and found that the
client will not start on any wine version 8.19 or above.  I bisected the
problem to the update to mono 8.1.0.  The last stage of bisect is attached. 
When starting the client a ton of processes get created and then "Maximum
number of clients reached" messages get spammed infinitely on the console.

OS: Linux 5.15.140 Dist: Slackware 15.0 64 CPU: 9900k GPU: RTX 4070

I found a workaround to the problem to shut off mono as follows:

export WINEDLLOVERRIDES="mscoree="

This workaround seems OK since I don't think steam client itself relies on mono
but I am not sure some of the apps it launches wont.

Any tips or ideas what might be happening here would be appreciated.  No issues
with the older wine versions up to 8.18 ran steam with mono enabled fine so I
am pretty sure some update in mono 8.10 is triggering the problem.  There is a
good chance this is related to Slackware 15.0 distribution and has nothing to
do with wine or mono issue but I don't know where to start looking for the
breakage.export WINEDLLOVERRIDES="mscoree="
