I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 with wine 0.9.56 on a Dell Inspiron E1505.  I have an ATI
Mobility Radeon X1400, and I just moved to the latest Catalyst 8.3 drivers.  A
few releases ago, AMD said they fixed the OpenGL memory leak present in their
fglrx drivers based on the new code, but those drivers were too problematic to
be usable, so I kept using Catalyst 7.11.  I noticed that Frozen Throne did not
crash on old versions of wine due to the memory leak, so I tried various older
versions of wine to no avail.  However, I was using the old ATI drivers back
then, which presumably did not have the memory leak.  With the new Catalyst 8.3
drivers, however, the memory leak seems to be gone.  I still have to test a bit
further, but according to top, memory use is pretty fixed over time (it
fluctuates within a 10 MB range, never increasing or decreasing beyond that.) 
Perhaps this bug is not a wine bug, but a graphics driver bug?

I still have to play-test a bit more, as I've been running a replay in the
background while working.  However, this was enough to crash Frozen Throne
after almost exactly 21 minutes into the replay with wine 0.9.45 and wine
0.9.46, and wine 0.9.53 through wine 0.9.55 with Catalyst 7.11.  top also
indicated that memory use grew linearly with respect to time on those setups. 
This seems to no longer be the case with the new ATI driver.
