I don't know about Gerard and Mike, but the reason I suggested +relay is
mainly to see the return values of the file and comm calls.  I don't
think I stand a chance of understanding this app unless I can see a
trace of it working, to compare with this one.  I would say

grep --context trace:

would be a reasonable filter, and make the trace log bzip2 down to an
almost manageable size.  If you are running short of hd space, you can
pipe the trace through grep, so:

wine --debugmsg +file,+comm,+relay whatever.exe \
2>&1|grep --context trace: >logfile

or even,

wine --debugmsg +file,+comm,+relay whatever.exe \
2>&1|grep --context trace: | bzip2 >logfile.bz2

This last might interfere with the app's timing, though, I think.

(backslash \ is just to continue the command on the next line, it's not
part of the command).
