--- Comment #22 from Ken Sharp kennybobs@o2.co.uk 2009-06-13 12:01:08 --- Not really helpful but there have been reports of Wineserver crashing on the AppDB, usually with people with ATI cards.
Sorry, I didn't keep the specific comments as I get hundreds of emails daily from the AppDB.
In short: It does seem to affect more than just those two apps.
