Part of this is an old bug I've always ignored because its not that big of a problem... the other part is a major problem and changed with the MacDriver being default in 1.5.28.
Old Bug that contributes to the current issue
Wine creates some folder for a lockfile in /tmp/.wine-502 that appears to have randomly generated parts in the name... and will use that folder to make a "lock" file. (I have no idea what wine-502 is for or how its naming is selected)
If that folder does not exist when trying to run wine, an error message comes up saying something like this for example..
wine: chdir to /tmp/.wine-502/server-1000002-d0a483 : No such file or directory
At that point wineserver keeps running but spawns no wine processes.
checking for that folder it does exist, it appears wine created it...
running anything else with wine at this point works correctly, or you can close the wineserver with wineserver -k... i'm assuming since the folder already exists and I do not get the error message any more.
I'm assuming this is some type of race condition where Wine creates the folder but its not created fast enough before it tries to use it and fails.
I've always ignored this problem as its a minor annoyance.
Current Issue
The current issue I'm having happens related to the before mentioned problem.
This only appears to happen during wineprefix creation, where I cannot turn off the MacDriver since its default now.
After getting the error message about chdir not working because "No such file or directory" ... if I try to run anything after that and the "lock" file is still in the /tmp/.wine-502 folder that was made... I get crash info written out to the Terminal that looks like the MacDriver. If I manually delete the "lock" file then the error does not happen, but that file always exists since things didn't exit cleanly after the chdir error.
Terminal Output is listed here...

Once that wine-502 folder exists with "lock" in the correct state, the issue stops happening and Wine works fine.
Can anyone tell me what the wine-502 is even for, or any other input on why this issue might be happening? I haven't been able to find in Wine source where this folder is being created or used.
