Microsoft seems to have placed a function call in software since 1995 to make 
sure it is running on the Correct Windows version. This call seems to be 
misinterpreted with wine

More debugging shows that: 
 
RtlAllocateHeap  
 
is known. But needs somemore programming.  
Debug output: 
084c1018:trace:heap:RtlAllocateHeap (40350000,00000002,00000018): returning 
403505f0 
 
I have reason to belive this is used by Windows programs, particularly ones by 
Microsoft to check if there is enough diskspace.  
 
Microsoft must be the only one using it, as I have searched through Unoffical 
and Office implementations of the Platform SDK to no avail.

A related function: 
 
<code>RtlFreeHeap</code> 
 
Returns TRUE when asked for. 
 
But RtlAllocateHeap doesn't.

I've noticed that Wine does not pass on swap, but only the memory free. Perhaps 
we should create a "ForceRAM" option in the wine config file in the future to 
force programs to belive that there is a certain amount of ram

Well, of course RtlAllocateHeap doesn't return TRUE. 
It's supposed to return an LPVOID, the address of the buffer allocated 
(like all heap alloc function do !). 
 
Having said that, I really don't think the error is due to RtlAllocateHeap. 
An "out of disk space" error might be caused by all sorts of other errors, 
too. 
RtlAllocateHeap is probably rather perfect. (it doesn't even have a single FIXME 
either) 
 
 
Attaching a --debugmsg +relay,+file,+dosfs log file of the error might be a good 
idea... 
 
A RAM size fake option would be a good idea, yes. 
(some games have a swap partition check, for example, and they fail to run 
if you don't have enough free swap space, so such an option would be good)

I've also noticed this in other M$ apps:

I can confirm this bug exists - and what's this about efforts to port fs to  
linux?
