Repeatable kernel crash [2.1.55, Wine, Control Panel]

Kernel version: 2.1.55 and a few of the earlier.
Wine version: 970928 and earlier.
Libc version: 5.4.33.
Xfree86 version: 3.3.1
Windows version: 95 (sorry!)

Running the command

/usr/src/wine970928/wine -managed -debugmsg +all control

reliably locks up my machine. The X mouse pointer freezes, and nothing
runs. A timed kill of X does not kick in. There is no trace of what
went wrong in the syslog.

I _think_ the oldselect below is what brings down the machine when it
times out. Where 8.5s comes from is beyond me, but I hit Ctrl-C in
the example below and was spared of the crash.

21:21:00.067071 [40153f28] ioctl(4, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0
21:21:00.067318 [401544c4] write(1, "\ttask = 01d7, events = 0\n", 25) = 25
21:21:00.067578 [40153eb9] gettimeofday({876100860, 67670}, NULL) = 0
21:21:00.067791 [40153eb9] gettimeofday({876100860, 67881}, NULL) = 0
21:21:00.068007 [40153f28] ioctl(4, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0
21:21:00.068225 [4015555c] oldselect(5, [4], [], [], {8, 502000}) = ? ERESTARTNOHAND (To be restarted)
21:21:00.792907 [4015555c] --- SIGINT (Interrupt) ---

Any clues as to what is wrong?

[Yes, I know that the control panel is not likely to be useful. That's
not the point here.]
