[Wine] Crashes on launch with runaway blank error message windows

[keepitsimpleengineer]

New, clean, basic install of Xubuntu 10.04 on older 256MB 400MHz Celeron.

Wine 1.1.42-0ubuntu4 from us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/  lucid/universe Packages

When launching winecfg or a Windows app, opens window for app, then starts opening infinite "error" windows that are blank.  Only way to stop is to restart.

Is there a log somewhare?  Happen to anybody else?
