Even though the problem is solved for Rustic, I wouldn't recommend CuteChess under Wine for CCRL-testing, as problems such as these may also impact other engines depending on the Wine version chosen. And, each engine can be impacted differently.

At least I can run my own engine under Fritz 11 and Chessbase 12, at some point using it for analysis. (Even though I'm not a big fan of current-day Chessbase software, I still think that Fritz 11 and ChessBase 10-12 are the best versions. No nonsense interface, and no or very limited useless-to-me cloud features.)

All CCRL testers use Windows only.

I do not like recent Chessbase doings either.
