wine users - Jun 2006 - Wine Client Error:b: write: Bad file descriptor

I'm running wine 0.9.2 on a specialized Fedora Core 2 linux computer.
I've actually had this running in similar setups on several computers
now, along with a custom program.  I had everything working, and it was
all very nice, until I moved to a new linux setup, so I know it's
something in the wine configuration, not in my program.  It's still FC2
and wine 0.9.2, but it's the "production release" version of FC2
that
was setup for me by someone in IT.

Now when I run my program, it runs, but I get errors, both in wine and
in the program itself (caused by wine not running properly, I believe).
 The one I've noticed the most is the subject:

wine client error:b: write: Bad file descriptor

I have no idea how or why this could be an issue, and while I haven't
really extensively tested anything myself yet, I decided to post here
in the hopes that someone else has had a similar problem and found a
solution.

Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing (guessing bad), but now
I'm getting "unhandled page faults on read access" when I try to
run my
program.  It's followed by what appears to be a dump from
processor/memory that is entirely in hex, and while I can make out what
each value is, I haven't a clue what they relate to.  The computer I'm
running on is not on the internet, but I may be able to get a copy of
the error later today or early tomorrow if anyone thinks that would
help.

Think about updating, wine 0.9.16 is out.

Unfortunately, this is for a production system, so I do not control
what version of Wine is being used.  I can suggest updating, but I'll
mostly likely be told that the only version of Wine the company trusts
is 0.9.2 (probably citing stability or something like that).

Regardless of that, I had this working on Wine 0.9.2 on another
harddrive, and when I tested the older setup just now, it still works
fine.  If for nothing else but pure curiosity, I'd like to figure out
this problem, and whether or not I'll have to watch for something like
this whenever I use a new Wine setup.

I know there are plenty of good reasons to not run as root, especially
when using a computer that is hooked up to the internet, but can you
actually give me a good reason as to not run wine as root?

As I mentioned before, I did not create the environment I am running
in, it was setup for me by IT, and it appears the company wide image
just has one user, root.  Is that correct, probably not, am I going to
be able to change that, probably not.

well, bugs can cause more damage if you run wine as root.
Just look at the "wine is overwriting the MBR" thing that happened to
a few people.
