And for users that had random crashes with no explanation, they'd
think quite differently. You can't have your cake and eat it to.

I had to create wineprefixes to older versions of wine just to let my apps work as they should. Please, don't underestimate this post: I'm sure many people running various apps are having this issue.

You can use:
$ WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winedbg.exe=d" wine foo.exe to work around it.

That disables the debugger, but no error will appear.
