recent wine crashes fc6 sessions

I use wine to run a simple DOS program (sreccvt.exe) that converts a
file from one format to another. (Its more complicated than that, but
I'll leave it at that.) I've been using this combination for a couple
years now without any problems.
I recently went to use it and found that it crashes my fc6 session cold.
I don't get any output from the crash and I can't find anyway to get it
either.
For example, running "wine sreccvt.exe" will kick me out of my current
session, back to the graphical login screen !
I have the latest available wine installed, via "yum install wine*"
rpm -q wine
wine-0.9.25-1.fc6
I uninstalled wine via "yum remove wine*" and reinstalled just to be
sure. I also installed wine-0.9.14... with the same result.
One can find a copy of sreccvt.exe here:

I just noticed that running winecfg crashes my session too.
