I can reproduce the problem by starting the app, pressing f9, closing the 3d window, and pressing f9 again. The log shows fixme:d3d:wined3d_device_reset Cannot change the device window yet. err:d3d:context_create Failed to retrieve a device context. when F9 is pressed the second time. That suggests that Wine is known to be missing a feature. I haven't heard of this causing a crash before, so I filed a bug for it, http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27683 Thanks for the report.
