I've got an app that seems to be crashing during shutdown. (Tribes Vengeance dedicated server) I'm running it detached inside a screen session, and I don't want the debugger to automatically launch when the app crashes. I just want the thing to die when I send it a "quit" command. Currently I've hacked the registry setting and changed the debugger name to "true". Is there a cleaner way to accomplish this?

Yes, there is: fix the crash! :-)
Anyway, I guess that Wine WILL do the debugger invocation once there's an exception, so your approach should be fine.

Yeah, I know, it's just that it's not my code and I'm not certain that the authors will be releasing an update. There's a rumor of one but no certainty, as the company (a game publisher) refuses to make any announcements about what it's working on.

Does the crash happen on a real windows box? If it doesnt happen on a real windows box, its probobly a WINE bug and should be fixed by the WINE people. If it happens on real windows then yeah, its probobly something for the developer of the engine to fix.

I had a similar problem. My solution was to simply redirect stdin to /dev/null. The app crashes, the debugger starts and read EOF from stdin. It terminates, problem solved :-)
