At least, that's what I got from googling KeInitializMutex and trying to decipher http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa490233.aspx . I don't think that's something you can fix on your own, though someone with more expertise may be able to help you. (This is definitely way beyond my level.)  You should probably file a bug report.

I've looked in winecfg to try and disable ntoskrnl but find no way of doing that. I tried running it in Win 98 mode but now the application simply hangs with a new (empty) window with no output to terminal.

With ref the post above about running as root, I ran the command you suggested. am I right in thinking that it only removes the files created by root that the current user can't use? All of my .wine directory is still there.
