--- Comment #44 from noabody at yahoo.com ---
This appears to be a bug in the closed-source Nvidia proprietary driver. 
wine-preloader relies on published information to setup the pre-environment for
code execution.  Somehow Nvidia's code is non-conformant.

It's important to note that this bug "hides" itself in the maintainer version
of Debian based Linux distros because wine-preloader is an optional component
that is not normally installed.  This is not the case with winehq.

My work-around was designed to be an "elegant" solution.  Package management is
unaffected by disabling wine-preloader through removal of its executable bit:

sudo chmod -x /opt/wine-devel/bin/wine-preloader
or
sudo chmod -x /opt/wine-stable/bin/wine-preloader
