Hello,

--- quote ---
But appears to be solved for me by setting WINEDEBUG=-all

e.g.

env WINEDEBUG=-all wine "C:\Program Files\PokerTracker 3\PokerTracker.exe" 

(not winedbg=-all, as found elsewhere, which must be for wine pre 1.0 or
something)

PT version 3.00 b17, wine-1.0

Looks like the race condition I found some time ago in Armadillo software
protection code.
I wrote a lengthy in-depth analysis here:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12948#c7 (bug 12948)

In short: It's not fixable in wine.
This race happens within a very small time frame - hence anything that affects
execution time of father and child process can turn into success or failure,
like WINEDEBUG=-all.

Regards
