Besides - this file limit in distributions is not a bug either - this is a security measure according to some people.
If breaking applications is a security of some kind - let be it. I just would like to repeat once again, that's not only Wine who is potentially affected, any application that uses a lot of file handles will break, and most likely without any message.
