Hello Alexandre,

--- quote ---
I assume you are running 32-bit wineboot by hand?
--- quote ---

yes, I should have posted the command line in first place. I often initialize a
new prefix this way, without using builtin programs.

--- snip ---
$ rm -rf ~/.wine
$ wineboot
<fork bombs>
--- snip ---

Works:

--- snip ---
$ rm -rf ~/.wine
$ notepad
--- snip ---

Works as well:

--- snip ---
$ rm -rf ~/.wine

$ wine64 wineboot
--- snip ---

I've refined the summary and downgraded the severity to reflect this is limited
to a specific use-case.

Regards
