Reproducability is 100%, only the method is weird, you have to switch to an
older version of proton in the steam settings of the game, start the game and
then switch back to the new version and start the game again.
 It might also be possible using standard wine and repeatedly upgrading and
downgrading wine and (I have not tried this, yet ...)

Kernel is "commit f8d112a4e657 (HEAD) mm/mmap: avoid zeroing vma tree in
mmap_region()" in linux-next tree.

As long as I don not try to kill those processes there's no error message (but I
only have let them run for a few minutes ...)
