Latest Picasa build (2.1.0 27.66) expects Arial font installed by default, it calls GetGlyphOutline on it, it fails but Picasa doesn't check return code and crashes trying to interpret the data.
Futher investigation has shown that my system doesn't have fontconfig installed and therefore it can't find .ttf fonts (even if they are installed in the system). Once Wine finds a .ttf font (via fontconfig or in windows/fonts) it substitutes Arial and GetGlyphOutline succeeds, which avoids the crash.
