Oh do you know any kernel version that does work?
I don't know of any kernel-version that does work, but I have asked on the debian-amd64 list and someone over there claimed succes with warcraft 3 on amd64 but he was using cedega. Since 2.4 isn't even
I got a reply on that one and he is using 2.6.10 (debian kernel-image-2.6.10-9-amd64-k8).
Since 2.6.11 was out I tried that one too, but without success. AFAICT the ptrace patch has not been applied in any form for x86_64 yet.
As an aside I tried several other games I have and SimCity 3000 exhibits the same behaviour. I could have sworn that I played that game about half a year ago on the same machine. Unfortunately I no longer have the installation under which I played it then. It was an earlier version of debian's pure64 and a sid chroot from around that time is the best answer my memory can serve.
The last thing I noted was a slight difference in behaviour on mounting the cdrom. With 2.6.8 I have to become root in the chroot to do an umount -f /cdrom to get it unmounted in the chroot. With 2.6.10 and .11 I could do it as an ordinary user in the chroot.
Is there anything I could try to figure out through wine's debugoutput? If so, what channels are recommended to be shown?

PS Are the Debian maintainer and wine on speaking terms again? An apt-get update showed that 20050211 has entered sid and it wanted to replace my current install from winehq.
