What you describe indicates that something has gone wrong because a critical
section has not been released in a reasonable amount of time.  Normally one
might be entered for a few milliseconds, if that.

Try turning on debug flags to look at the logs to see what calls have been made
but have not returned before the RtlpWaitForCritic... message appears.

What is the program?

No this is impossible. If you do that most every program will brake.

I invoke myexe like this:
echo "some stuff" | wine myexe

If I just try 'echo "some stuff" | winedbg myexe', I get
WineDbg starting on pid 0016
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
0x7b8780b2: movl        %esi,0x0(%esp)
Wine-dbg>syntax error
Syntax Error (#)
Wine-dbg>MyUbuntuPrompt$

I actually get "Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file"
TWICE with just 'echo "some stuff" | wine myexe' and I
don't think I
need fonts for this app.  After that it runs fine except for the
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection which happens a while later.

When I tried 'echo "some stuff" | WINEDEBUG=+all myexe'
my app did not terminate, but it froze when it should have been
displaying updated information.

This is a custom forex trading app based on this API
http://www.metaquotes.net/files/mtapi.zip
Basically the app:
1) Makes a message only window to receive updated quotes.
2) Makes a server to listen for client commands to place orders

So what steps can I take to avoid this error?
