This very much looks like a use-after-free bug. The first two 
instructions are probably a COM *_Release call. Judging by the fact that 
this is a regression I would also guess that it is a Wine object. Also, 
by knowing that it is a game it is probably a DirectDraw, Direct3D or 
DirectSound object. Try turning on tracing for these and seeing what it 
turns up. If you see a decrement to 0 just before the crash then the 
theory is probably correct.
