[Bug 19706] New: app crashes when (exactly) WINEDEBUG=+snoop wine my-app.exe specified

Summary: app crashes when (exactly) WINEDEBUG=+snoop wine
                    my-app.exe specified
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.27
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I'm running an app under wine which otherwise runs without crashing (both under
1.1.27 and natively), except when I preface "wine my-app.exe" with
"WINEDEBUG=+snoop" on the command line.

I found this originally by specifying "WINEDEBUG=+all wine my-app.exe" but
narrowed the crash down to just "+snoop".

By crashing I mean that I get the nice "Program Error" dialog box that contains
the text "This can be caused by a problem in the program or a deficiency in
Wine..."

I am currently runing 1.1.27.  I have not tried previous versions after 1.0.1. 
It does appear that the app crashes (unhandled exception) under 1.0.1, but runs
fine natively.

The app in question is Full Tilt Poker (http://www.fulltiltpoker.com).

I'd normally include the log, but it's about 960Mb at the point where the crash
occurs.  Wine does not exit after closing the dialog box.

As this only affects tracing/debugging, it may not be the highest priority bug
-- except that I've noticed in Bugzilla that one of the developer requests is
to have +snoop turned on sometimes, which could complicate debugging.

It's normal with +snoop. Snooping is implemented by pure heuristics, if it
hurts - don't do that. Neither +all nor +snoop are useful for wine debugging.

I <i>guarantee</i> that "+all" is often critical for my particular use of wine,
but now that I know that +snoop crash, I will certainly avoid it.

The fact that +snoop hasn't crashed on me before (nor in the last three years'
worth of using Wine that I can ever remember), this suggests to me that it's a
newly created crash and something that would be of concern to anyone that
continues to actually want to trace snoop.

I personally would not consider +snoop crashes to be "normal".

Feel free to debug it.
