The 4k stack issue you are talking about is a kernel stack. Wine is a 
user space application so anything Wine does with its stacks will have 
no impact on the kernel stack.

Now it is possible that Wine makes system calls that cause the kernel to 
recurse and blow its stack, but these calls could just as well happen in 
any run-of-the-mill Linux application. And in any case, this would be a 
kernel bug.

      The software said it requires Win95 or better, so I installed Linux.
