Wine crashes my machine whenever I try to do "wine -help", or try to
run any non-existing file. It seemed that the CPU reset without any
panicking message. Does anyone else have this problem? Is it unique to
FreeBSD? How does wine crash the system without causing a panic?

The last message on screen was "wine: can't exec '-help'". I looked
at wine source code, there is only a printf statement followed by
an exit. Printf didn't show maybe because it's still in buffer.
The only way exit could crash the system was the atexit calles,
which include a XChangeKeyboard and winsock cleanup, none looked
likely to be the cause. I'm really puzzled. Any help is appreciated.
