Sounds like a bug.

Personally I have a script, killwine, in my path for tidying such things up;
it kills wine, winedebug and wineserver and then deletes the socket.  Very
heavy-handed but I get to use it every couple of days.

(Actually wine does create a zombie; the wineserver.  I found that part of
the code quite fascinating coming from a DOS background.  However the
wineserver should normally terminate itself once all the wine processes
disappear)
