Thanks, re-emerging Wine with FEATURES=splitdebug didn't change anything but
FEATURES=nostrip did the trick. I have attached the log with the debug info.

Looks, like your guess was right.

There is nothing special with my network config. I also observed the crash on
another machine attached to a completely different network.
Even if my network connection was faulty, I don't think Wine should crash or is
WebMon poorly programmed?

In most cases WebMon works fine for my too. The crash happens rarely and is
hard to reproduce. I have about one hundred websites I am monitoring and I had
to start the check up to ten times for the crash to happen.

You're right. But it shouldn't interfere with Linux because I haven't set the
executable bit. I simply put the program in /usr/local/bin because the path is
covered by my backup script. But I will think of placing it somewhere else.
