[Wine] 40+ Winedbg processes on crash?

I'm not sure if this is normal behavior I just haven't seen before or if 
it's something on my system I need to fix, so I'm asking:


Twice now I have had a crash using a game through wine. Both times 
there's a pop up with a MS C++ error box (pure virtual method call) so I 
think the crash itself is the game's fault not wine's.

But both times I also got a winedbg error box off to the side saying: 
"Program Error  The program winedbg.exe has encountered a serious 
problem and needs to close." There is a button at the bottom of the box 
that says 'close' and when I click on it the box blinks but does not go 
away.

If I open my system monitor it shows more then 40 entries for winedbg, 
each with it's own (sequential) ID number. If I just click the close 
button on the error dialog box none of the entries in the processes list 
goes away. I have to go down the list and end each one individually 
until I find one that is somehow magic and makes the rest of them go 
away. :)

So is this behavior normal and just the first program I've run into it 
with, or have I broken something in my wine install I need to fix?

info:
Wine version 1.1.29 (package manager install)
Fedora 11 x86_64
nVidia 9800gt, driver 185.18.36
game this has happened during: Star Wars Galaxies
