wine users - Oct 2009 - wine produces no output

Hi,
I have wine 1.01 running under Ubuntu 8.10. Until recently I was using it quite
happily to run Windows console applications. Now, for no apparent reason, wine
just quits and I get no output at all. This is the case for all .exes, not just
one or two. For example:
prompt$ wine SomeWindowsApp.exe
prompt$
prompt$ wine cmd
prompt$
etc...
I am running Wine in the application's home directory.

If I run 'wine' by itself, I get the usual help message.
I have also tried winedbg and wineconsole, with the same results.
Finally I reinstalled wine (via apt-get) but the problem is unchanged.
Can anyone suggest what has gone wrong here please?

You should install ver 1.1.31 and if possible delete your .wine folder, then
post back. There should be a sticky that says this....

Thank you very much! That did the trick.  :D 
BTW I did search for this topic before posting, but was unsuccessful. Does this
qualify as an FAQ?
