This sounds like a job for valgrind!

But, er, does valgrind still work with wine?  Rob said it did in March:
http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2005/03/0397.html
It was too hard for one guy back in July:
http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2005/07/0401.html
but that was probably because he didn't see Rob's message from March.
Maybe we need to put better instructions on how to use
Valgrind with Wine on winehq.org... or, dare I suggest it,
bundle valgrind with Wine so anybody could easily use it
be setting WINEDEBUG=+valgrind or something like that...
