[Wine] Debugging an application crash

[Walt Ogburn]

If you don't want to do development and debugging yourself, the debugger
isn't likely to be of much use to you.  You can submit a bug report and
make an entry in the application database (both on www.winehq.org).  There
are still lots of programs that don't work well with wine.
