The dreaded 'hardware or system error'

Installs great when version is set to 'win2k'
On startup it shows the splash screen, loads plugins, preferences and some other stuff and gives the 'unable to continue, hardware or system error' message.
A previous post here suggests that wine's font handling is to blame, and I think that's a good possibility. I'm not so sure the scratch disk is not to blame though. I know photoshop can produce this error if there is not enough contiguous disk space (non-fragmented) for the scratchdisk. I don't know enough about how wine translates data about file allocation to troubleshoot it farther.
