Oh, I didn't claim that I found the problem. I have seen arethusa on
#winehq helping users get rid of Wine in the 64-bit flavor from Fedora.
I have just verified that "yum install wine" will indeed give a 64-bit
Wine, checked the (rpm) spec file and opened a bug in the Fedora bugzilla.

Thanks for helping those users.
