Bug ID: 43877
           Summary: "Cannot allocate DOS memory" error with 16-bit Windows
                    applications
           Product: Wine
           Version: 2.18
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org
          Reporter: palswim+winehq.org@palswim.net
      Distribution: ---
Trying to start a 16-bit Windows application (both the Civilization 1 install
and Civilization game itself), WINE immediately gives me the error and exits
with an error code:
...
wine SETUP.EXE && echo 'Success' || echo 'Fail'
err:dosmem:DOSMEM_Init Cannot allocate DOS memory
Fail
...
With WINE 2.0.1, I did not have this error, and was able to run the
installation program successfully. However, I was experiencing page fault
errors when running the game program, so I updated to the latest version.
I'm pretty sure that this game is abandonware, so I can probably provide any
necessary files upon request.
