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

I really doubt you overrunning that. And you would see messages in the
terminal if Wine can't allocate anymore FDs.
