The issue remains. Going > back to 1.1.7 immediately fixes the problem. I just committed an update to the emulators/wine port which passed my testing with both 16- and 32-bit Windows applications. Does that update address the issue you have been seeing? > Since this happens for many application including popular ones, I > suspect this might be a FreeBSD thing.

Sadly, there is not much of a FreeBSD community looking after Wine, mostly two or three volunteers making a change/fix now and then. I hope the update I committed today does address the issues you have been seeing, or it may be difficult to get them addressed.
