[Wine] Strange crashing behavior

[anilbv]

Hi, 

I'm trying to run a game called Star Sonata (http://www.starsonata.com/download.html) on my iMac (Mac OS 10.5.8) using Wine 1.2-rc7.  If I run the installer first, I can choose to launch the game directly and it runs without crashing (at least, without crashing systematically).  However, if I quit and relaunch the game, it crashes as soon as I get to the log-in screen.  Below I have enclosed the pertinent wine output streams.

First run (no systematic crash):
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33e27c,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:d3d:swapchain_init Add OpenGL context recreation support to context_validate_onscreen_formats

I have not yet tried re-installing wine, and am curious to know whether I should consider using an earlier version.  Any suggestions would be appreciated!
