Summary: winmm, 950+ socket cycles crashes application
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.41.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-net
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I create sockets to a winsock2 DLL send/receive data and then close the socket.
On Windows there is no limit to the number of times I can do this. On linux, the
limit appears to be 970-980. All further attempts to connect simply time out.
The application is also hung.

I have not tested this issue outside of my target application (MetaTrader 4 by
metaquotes.net) and it could be related to their thread/memory management. The
DLL calls ws2_32 and winmm. I attempted to compile the DLL against WINE source
but didn't succeed with the compile on windows.

Issue originally experienced on 0.9.39, confirmed the same behavior on 0.9.41.
