Ok. I am just entering the WINE development crowd, and have very very little experiance with the Windows API (The first time I saw it, I was terrifyed!) Anywho. It would appear that some programs decide there isn't enough free memory available for their tasks (EG, Train Simulator's CAB extaction process, I have yet to look further into this to see if I even have the slightest clue what I am talking about, however) so I was wondering if we could hack in an option to allow the API to tell a little fib on the free memory, since (From what I understand) Linux is so much better with memory.
Sorry if I am randomly babbling, my brain is off around 02:30. ;) (Thats my current local time.)

This is an old issue.
Some programs find _some_error and decide to report it as "out-of-memory" error. Mostly totally misleading...
Look for the first error and cure it.
