I think I would try - make sure you run in c directory you can write in,
make sure it can write a core dump:

ulimit -c unlimited

let it segment fault,

and use gdb to read the core file:

gdb -c core

That _might_ tel you if it faulted in wine or it your app, and if so
you can quit gdb and give it the program and core file:

gdb wine core

or

gdb x_zeus.so core

or whatever its name is.

Truth can never be told so as to be understood, and not be believed.
