Which, unless someone has a better idea, leaves me with: > 2)set up wine-git and apply a patch (from > http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10778 ) The couple of how-tos I found for this go beyond anything I have done before in Linux and I don't really understand what the patch does so before jumping into it want to ask- Does this patch do anything different than just limiting the memory did? Since that already failed I don't want to do something I'm likely to mess up a few times if there's no real chance of it fixing the problem. :)
