I'm really puzzled. Any help is appreciated. I noticed this problem in FreeBSD-2.0.5-RELEASE. In the August 2.2-SNAPSHOT, this problem disappeared. If Wine fails to start a Windows program, it tries starting the same program via exec. Maybe there is the point where FreeBSD crashes. So: upgrade or disable the exec code in Wine.
