Forgot to mention, this fixes http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19861.
I also have another idea. There are many issues that depend on packagers to properly package wine, it's dependencies, and also configure various aspects that might influence its stability.
There should be a page on the wiki with issues that package maintainers should be aware of. It should be structured something like "General issues" and "Distribution-specific issues", with subcategories for each distribution, and a way to contact the maintainer. This is especially important with wine1.2 around the corner.
Such a page could include, for example, a warning about this bug and tips for packagers on how to prevent it. Not sure about other distros, but in Ubuntu and other Debian-based ones the wine package could install a file /etc/security/limits.d/wine.conf to set the limit to a safe value. Or it could be in a separate package recommended by wine, like wine-nolimit-fix.
