There are instructions in documentation/bugs on how to search for
the exact time of a regression. It is difficult but  can be a great
help if a more direct approach don't work.

Yes it does not look clear. It's not interesting to use
-debugmsg +all; it is drowning information into uninteresting
messages.
At first it's much better to use only -debugmsg +relay
(as clearly stated in the doc).

Then as you have a working Wine version, it's _essential_ to compare
the trace of the working version with the not working one.
Posting 2 (identically) failing traces is not useful.

Finally, you should also setup the debugger. It can provide
a backtrace,  that can also be interesting. Look in
documentation/debugger (here is a short version :
edit the system.reg file in your ~/.wine/config file,
add something like :
 
[Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\AeDebug] 134683384
"Auto"=dword:00000001
"Debugger"="/home/gerard/win/wine/debugger/winedbg %ld %ld"

in the "debugger" line, replace the appropriate part by your own
path to winedbg.
