I'm sorry that I can provide a more detailed reply, but you did not
specify which version of Wine you are using, nor how you built/installed
it (ports, Wine snapshot, package).

For example, Wine does not build on -STABLE since earlier last week due
to a problematic change to the ncurses library back then.

Can you test the same with a UP kernel or a Linux box? First of all we
should try to find whether this is
 1. a Wine specific problem;
 2. a FreeBSD specific problem; or
 3. a FreeBSD SMP specific problem

Currently the Wine port is undergoing major updates (It hadn't been
updated for about half a year) and there are some problems, but I hope
to have everything in a stable state by the end of the week, or so.

My feeling, however, indicates that the problem you are experiencing 
might fall in category 1 above, in which case I suggest you contact
the Wine authors directly (http://www.winehq.com/).

Hope this helps,
Gerald
