Try being a little selective with --debugmsg.  +all is just too much for
anyone to look at, and I wouldn't be surprised if some debug messages
interfered with others, relay and snoop in particular, and I guess +all
would get them both.  Maybe start with relay until you work out what it
is you are debugging.

I'm not sure what the default is anymore, but wine will identify itself
to the app as whatever --winver you tell it to.  To the extent we know
about differences in the behavior of the different versions (and think
it might matter to some apps) it will behave as that version
too.  --winver doesn't disable APIs that are not defined in that version
though, for the most part.
