Is this still an issue in current (1.7.36 or newer) wine? There were
some serial fixes a while back that may have helped.

Title:
  [Hardy][wine][regression] Segmentation Fault in Palm Hotsync over
  serial

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: wine

  I upgraded to  Ubuntu Hardy, and wine 1.0-rc1.
  Hotsync manager 1.0 for Palm Pilot worked fine before.
  http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10362

  Now it crashes half-way synchronising over the serial port, sometimes after a
  few seconds, sometimes much later in the process.
  These crashes reproduce well, and yield a segmentation fault without further
  information
  $ wine hotsync.exe
  Segmentation fault
  $

  I do not know if this means that a part of Wine crashes, or just the
  application.
  I added logging, where it seems that the problem lies within the call below:
  0009:CallTo16(func=111f:072a,ds=1087,118f,7404,0000,0006) ss:sp=1087:ffd0

  It is disappointing that an application that used to work fine, and I came to
  depend on, is now broken.
  Logging can be found at Wine HQ:

  I've recompiled with several versions of wine, especially those that did work with Gutsy.
  The problem does not disappear. Therefore, I think it's not a change in wine that triggers the problem, but rather a problem in another module in Hardy.

  I just got the kernel upgrade from vmlinuz-2.6.24-16 to vmlinuz-2.6.24-17 (patch for Ubuntu Hardy).
  Now, the problem is less frequent.
  It seems that I can introduce the failure by switching electrical equipment nearby. Therefore, I think that the crash occurs after a severe communications failure. 
  Apparently, Hardy generates them, even with no ambient influences, where Gutsy didn't.
