--- Comment #8 from CHRIS@BAD2BEEF chris@bad2beef.net 2008-12-06 17:02:12 --- So assuming this is the problem, what do we do about it? Limiting my entire 4 core 8GB system for 4GB of memory just for one app seems silly. Why does something that provide a 32 bit API allow an app to allocate more memory than it can address?
Being not at all familiar with the Wine code, what I can I do to help get this resolved? What information or testing is needed to get a better grip on this? Are there any workarounds in the mean time?
If I attempt ulimit at 2 or 3GB, I have issues loading libraries and cannot run the app. If I set it just under 4GB, it will eventually still blow up.
