Austin, are you sure winetricks vcrun2008 actually fixes this?

The reason I ask is that I think I ran into the same crash today trying to
upgrade to Kindle for PC 1.14.43019 from 1.12.40996. The console output had the
line

*** Error in `C:\Program Files\Amazon\Kindle\Kindle.exe': double free or
corruption (!prev): 0x7d7982e0 ***

right before the backtrace. I also tried installing the new version directly to
a clean wineprefix, and got the same crash on the first try, but not on the
second (no winetricks). What I'm seeing (after multiple startup attempts) is
that the crash occurs often, but not always, with the new version of Kindle for
PC, with or without winetricks vcrun2008. It also sometimes hangs with 100% CPU
usage instead of crashing.

I do have some DRM'd books, but there was nothing in the console about them. 

I'm basically just trying to figure out whether I should file a separate bug...
