I don't know why it didn't work for you - In Debian and Ubuntu - it works
just put something like this in /etc/security/limits.conf:
james hard nofile 655355
of course replace james with your username then re-log
BTW - I don't know why but wine does NOT report this as an error - and IMHO
it should - I had to debug Sonic Riders to find out why it was behaving so
strangly
