Don't use any debugging flags unless asked for, start with installing
Wine debug symbols and attaching console output of teh crash.

I have installed debug symbols:
$ dpkg -l | grep wine
ii  wine                                 1.1.21~winehq1-1

Debugging symbols for Wine

And upgraded wine version to 1.1.21, still the same problem occurs.

I don`t think that`s the point because audio works perfect in starcraft and any
other windows programs.

Whatever you did, not it complains x4 times more often about pulse - keep
removing it, including any associations with ALSA. It breaks sound for Wine,
and many applications known to just crash if sound doesn't work.

It is impossible for me to remove this one libpulse0, because it means to
remove full kde4. That`s not that I want.

Then report the bug to pulse and kde developers, because it's the libpulse
which crashes, not wine code.

runned on ALSA

Changed configuration so wine programs use alsa instead of pulseaudio and
stopped pulseaudio deamon.

I looks like the problem still occurs so it is not pulse audio fault.

Something is broken, retry with clean ~/.wine.

This is not a clean Wine prefix, try again.

Yes, don't change settings via winecfg, if you do - specify which and why.

Since Wine has no libpulse driver, the problems with pulseaudio only occur when
the pulseaudio daemon is running. libpulse0 is benign in this situation.

> changing to open because audio is not the point

Due to the nature of the conflict between pulseaudio and Wine, any bug reported
with pulseaudio running is likely to be ignored. Pulse doesn't JUST cause audio
problems with Wine, it *can* also cause crashes or massive performance loss.

Also note, I can't find any references to "ICCup Launcher" on the ICCup
website. What application is this exactly?

But the sound in game excellent so wine must use alsa.

Please read the post. Pulseaudio causes lots of problems with Wine, and bug
reports submitted while using it are usually ignored.

The "Anti-Hack Launcher" is not called "ICCup Launcher", so this is why I
couldn't find what app you were talking about in your original report (where
you did not mention "Anti-Hack Launcher"). I've also raised this with the
supermaintainer for the AppDB entry.

Hello,

I'm a Wine user and Starcraft player.  I'd like to help get this bug resolved,
if I can.  I'm running Gentoo and Wine 1.1.36 on a 32-bit system.  Pulseaudio
is not, and has never been, present in any form.  Can anyone tell me what
information I could provide that would help to move us towards resolving this
bug?  I'm about to begin looking at the Wine code myself to see if I can figure
out what's going on, but I'm completely unfamiliar with it so any help would be
really appreciated.

With regards to the inconsistent naming of the launcher program: to the best of
my knowledge the name is in fact "ICCup Launcher".  That is the name of the
Program Files folder, the Start Menu folder, and more.  "Anti-Hack launcher"
describes the _purpose_ of the application, but they use that to refer to it in
some places, such as on the download link.

A related application by the same developer is Chaos Launcher:
http://winner.cspsx.de/Starcraft/  It shares some code with the ICCup launcher
and exhibits the same crash.  Source for the ICCup launcher is not available,
but I believe the developer does make the Chaos Launcher source available on
request.  I'd be willing to contact him about it if it could be useful.

Thanks all for your time.

In fact I just noticed that the code has been posted on Google Code:
http://code.google.com/p/chaoslauncher/source/browse/trunk
It allows plugins to apply patches to the Starcraft binary before it is started
and even while it is running.  It's the same technique used by the ICCup
launcher.

Please let me know if I should be opening a separate bug for Chaoslauncher.

I found an interesting thing.  Both the ICCup Launcher and Chaoslauncher
generate Starcraft crashes if I run them normally ('wine Launcher.exe'). 
However, if I run them in winedbg ('winedbg Launcher.exe'), they don't crash
and as far as I can tell they work correctly.  Hopefully this is a useful clue,
considering that they way they work is by using debugging APIs.  At the least
it's a good enough workaround for me, since the debugger overhead if any is low
enough that it doesn't seem to affect the game speed for me.
