After 63e6cfa106a [1] which fixes bug 58812 [2], the PlayOnline Viewer / Final
Fantasy XI Online use an excessive amount of virtual memory space, leading into
a crash with a debug build of Wine.

Non-debug builds also show the problem, but so far have avoided crashing
(virtual memory size still gets over 4 G though).

Without the mentioned commit, the virtual memory usage goes like this on 'top',
in stages.
