Summary: not possible no use more than 1.2GB of memory
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.15.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I've got a simple (32bit) windows application (compiled in Borland c++
builder):

int *p;
while(1) {
    p = new int[10000000]; //allocates 40 MB of memory

}

on Windows XP it crashes after 50 iterations (i.e. 2 GB allocated)

but on wine it crashes after 30 iterations (1200 MB allocated)

is it impossible to use 2gb of memory in wine? why only 1.2GB is
available?

I've got wine 0.9.13, linux 2.4 (wine 0.9.15 or linux 2.6 doesn't make any
difference),
2.5GB of physical RAM and 4GB of swap.
