also note it's file descriptors not file handles
There are no such thing as "handle" in *NIX world. The only thing matter is a file descriptor. But it's for files, directories, devices, etc.
Wine takes care of all the handles internally (one of the main tasks for wineserver). Wineserver has a really big handle limit: #define MAX_HANDLE_ENTRIES 0x00ffffff
ahh, then... not being funny or anything, but this might be a problem. bug-for-bug compatibility would imply having to bring that limit down to match what nt does. ... actually.... is there a second location where there are handle / filedescriptor limits? the reports i read seemed to indicate that there was a filedescriptor limit of 2048 and a handle limit that was far in excess of that (just like wine)
I really doubt you overrunning that.
i'm not, and neither is the application - that's the point.
... but on windows, the application _is_ hitting the limit (of 2048) and is gracefully throwing errors.
