I discovered this issue on x86 on linux 2.6.8/9 which led Linus to
fixing by 2.6.11.   Andi Kleen has not ported the patch to x86-64 from
what I know, so wine will still suffer under it  -- ie single stepping
into signal handlers, see mailing list archives.  You need to get your
kernel patched to fix the problem.  I have access to x86-64 systems
now and may be able to help.
