If it fails for 10% of applications out there, then it's *not* safe!

(it basicly only prevents that you get some useful debug traces, by 
saving a few instructions)

I think turning off the debugging features of Wine isn't such a great 
idea, and not something that should be encouraged.  The more people that 
do that, the more useless crash reports Wine developers will get.

If somebody wants to report that an unsupported flag makes Wine not 
work, then he should figure out the exact patch and flag combination 
that caused the regression, and that's the information that should be 
posted to WineHQ.

That would be a great idea.
