I re-tested the bug with Wine-1.3.34 on Fedora 16: Icewind Dale 2 still crashes
at the exact same point, when creating a party.
The game becomes unresponsive and Wine prints
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x75693340 "x11drv_main.c:
X11DRV_CritSection" wait timed out in thread 0046, blocked by 003a, retrying
(60 sec)

I made a strange discovery: I can't reproduce the bug if I install and run the
game on my external USB hdd. 
First I thought it has something to do with the mount options. Here's how the
partition is mounted where the game crashes:
rw,relatime,seclabel,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered

The mount options on the external hdd (where the game is working):
rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,seclabel,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered,uhelper=udisks

Both partitions are formatted as EXT4.

I remounted the partition where the game crashes with nosuid,nodev but that
didn't help.
But what could be the problem then? All testing was done in a clean wineprefix
and with a complete game reinstall.

A possible workaround for the party creation bug in IWD2:
After you created all the characters you want, do not start the game right
away. Instead go back to the main menu, start a new game and import your newly
created characters one by one into the party. The game won't crash in this way.
