There are some other strage missbehaviors, like printing 10000 times 'Wine-dbg>' before being killed using kill -kill <wine-pids>, or even not printing the register dump + back trace in the first place like shown above (same application, startup phase). So not even every time I try winedbg, everything happens identical.
a few questions: - do you have some other applications running (in the background) on the same unix console? - can you rerun with -debugmsg +winedbg and send the trace. TIA A+
