This is with Propellerhead Reason 3.0, full version (though a demo is 
available at www.propellerhead.se - should still produce the fault)

Basically whenever the program is started, it checks that a bunch of 
directories are present. One of these is "My Documents".

By default this is a symlink to /home/username and can be found in 
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/username

Removing the symlink and creating a real directory called "My Documents" stops 
the error occurring and allows the program to function.

In the App-DB a user suggested running Reason by specifying a song file as the 
parameter. A fairly recent post highlights the behaviour I'm describing:
http://appdb.winehq.org/commentview.php?iAppId=811&iVersionId=2940&iThreadId=15995

By using WINEDEBUG=trace+file, I was able to identify the last file operation 
prior to the message box appearing, and as I said, by replacing the symlink 
with a real directory, the problem is no more.
