Yes, it could be the Warden, but I doubt it. If the Warden is
triggered you get banned from the game yet this bug surfaces not as
spurious bannings but some kind of mouse control/targetting problem.
To be honest I'm amazed we haven't seen any reports of Wine triggering
anti-cheat systems like Blizzards before, and I'm sure we'd hear about
it if it did ....

Yes, using a slightly more generic version of the same memory layout hack.
