My server is a production server and I can't afford to play around on it just
to provide logs - run wineconsole from a terminal session, you will get the
exact same errors I'm getting.

And no, it does not work fine - wineconsole with the curses backend was the
ONLY way to run my application, and it worked fine for many years, until
someone decided to remove it for absolutely no reason.

My application is also not opening a console nor any windows, so there are no
logs to provide from the app's console, it all gets logged to a log file inside
the application sandbox and those logs are completely unrelated to wineconsole.
