Winedevice causes high CPU usage on read-only .wine folder

[sup]

I had a program that I run from a separate wine directory. It would after some time of running write something into the .wine directory that would prevent it from starting again. As I do not need to save any preferences of this program, I set the wine directory to read-only. That fixed the problem, but now from time to time, winedevice.exe takes up on core and burns CPU cycles as crazy. Killing it does not destroy anything. I could write a script that would periodically check if it was running and then kill it, but is there another solution?
