Update: Alexandre seems to think that this can be fixed in wine, until the hacks
are removed from the X11 sources, and the X patch can be invalidated.  See below.

Wine ought to be able to handle images larger than 32767x32767, that's not
a Wine requirement, that's what applications written for win32 API expect
to see working. There is no way to make it work without DIB engine if X11
doesn't support it due to ineternal bugs.
In general yes, but in this case it's Wine that is creating the huge
bitmap, and that could easily be avoided.

>From what I understand, WinRAR creates several small bitmaps, and then wine
renders it all as 1 big bitmap, which X cannot handle due to the cause of this
report, and so therefore X returns a BadAlloc call, to prevent some sort of
over-/under-flow...  Wine, according to Alexandre and some others on the list
can work around this by properly rendering the images as several small bitmaps,
instead of 1 large one..  How long it will take to get that done, I dunno, which
is why the next post to this bug by myself will be linking this bug to a metabug
tracker for the šXorg Pixmap patch issueš.
