The BadAlloc error comes from the X server. At startup Wine will try
to load all available fonts to retrieve their metrics, and there is
probably some kind of memory leak or resource limit inside the X
server that causes it to fail. So you either have to reduce the number
of fonts Wine is using, or get another X server.
