I read your post rapidly, but I give you my two cents:
the program (and/or wine) is drawing a big bitmap (possibly because
of a wrong calculation about screen size etc.) and this triggers
a problem in the X driver. No wonder it works when on ssh.
There are only two things that can lock a machine; the kernel and X.

The hard disk is not guilty, sure. :-)
