Ok, it gets even weirder...  If I use libthr (via libmap), it works without a 
problem.  libkse gets a Bus Error in the same place as libc_r.

*BUT*

Wine with libc_r doesn't crash if it's using XFree86 as its X server.  If I 
replicate the conditions from last night and run it pointing at an Xvnc 
server, it crashes.  For reference, on the 5.1-RELEASE box, the X server 
doesn't seem to make one bit of difference (it crashes 100% of the time).  
For all I know using libthr doesn't actually fix the problem but just changes 
the conditions enough that it doesn't get triggered...

I still don't understand how the thread library is even getting loaded in the 
first place.  I think wine is doing its own internal threading.  The error 
message references thread 9, but ps -aH only shows a single thread in the 
wine process (with libthr).
