OK. The issue is most likley with your distro. You are running on 64bit. Wine is not programmed to function in a 64 bit environment and will be more unstalbe as a result. I would recommend changing to 32bit.
Before you try that however. Try changing wine to the latest stable version rather than the beta version. Ensure you completely remove wine and then manually delete the .wine and .winetrickscache folders. Then reinstall to the latest stable version.

I have this same issue, but on OpenSuse 11.3. Running the same wineprefix on Ubuntu (64bit even) yields no issues. Am currently trying to find out what is causing it. I've tried multiple kernel versions(/34 and .36), multiple wine versions of different Architechtures, and am now trying other factors out, like graphics drivers(I have currently nvidia with same version too.) and patches.
