My comment still stands, we should figure out if the app is just requesting a lot of files to be opened, maybe forgetting to close them or if the problem is in Wine. If it's the latter case then upping the file limit is only a workaround.
I bet this is neither app nor wine problem – I think this is Windows related – probably this particular limit doesn't exist in Windows (or it is much higher). In some Linux distros this problem also doesn't exist because there is higher limit by default, on others it does. For most apps this is no problem – but for some this creates silly errors that are very hard to trace. All I would like is for wine to tell us when the limit is reached – it does so right now, but only if the low level debug is enabled – which is bad IMHO.
