I don't know why wine doesn't check for the limit – it really messes up many apps.
If it could check it, what could it do? Wine is just a user app like any other.
Can you check to see which files are being opened, how many times and where from? Is it Wine which is incorrectly opening a vast number of files or is the app brain damaged?
