Bug #: 29981
           Summary: Galactic Civilizations 2 is unplayable due to possible
                    severe memory leak
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.4-rc4
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

Since several wine versions I can not play GalCiv2:Twilight of the Arnor game.
After a several dozens of turns the game interface freezes and all text in it
disappears. If I'm enabling autosave then I also get the "Out of memory"
message (possibly caused by autosaving attempt).

I've made some testing and found that initially the game uses ~600 MiB of RAM
but after each turn the memory consumption increases significantly (more than
30 MiB each turn even when playing on small maps) and when it reaches ~1.7 GiB
the game stops responding.

If it matters I use 64-bit openSuSe Linux 12.1, Core 2 Duo E8500, 6GiB RAM and
nVidia GTX 460 1GB video card with latest stable nVidia proprietary driver.

These are the wine packages I have currently installed:

wine-1.3.38_1.4rc4-1.2.x86_64
wine-mp3-1.1.39-12.4.i586
wine-32bit-1.3.38_1.4rc4-1.2.x86_64
wine-gecko-1.4-24.1.noarch
