terminal output Wine-1.3.10

Hello,

Since there are several other opened bugreports about a crash in RealMyst I
didn't want to open a new one (e.g bug #18976 and bug #21119).
The crash is still present with Wine-1.3.10 and I'm sure it is due to the fact
that Wine/Linux runs out of the available opened files (you can see the error
message in the attached log).

Here's what I found:
Right after starting RealMYST.exe (pid 28593) the output of lsof | grep 28593 |
grep REG | wc -l was:
908
What's more interesting is that one of the game's video files
(MystIsland_Indeo.avi, using Indeo v5 codec) is opened several hundreds of
times:
'lsof | grep 28593 | grep -i MystIsland_Indeo.avi | wc -l' counted 846!

The game crashes very soon using the default 1024 fd value.
Raising the value of ulimit -n (e.g. 30k) helps, but the game is very 'laggy'
all the time.
After some more gameplay newer and newer video files are coming into play and
they're all replicated/opened several times.
It seems that the ending game, the Rime Age (bug #18976) is much more
demanding: after loading
that part of the game, the same video files are kept opened several hundreds of
times. After 2-3 minutes of gameplay the counter of opened files are well above
20k.

Note: the issue is not reproducible in the demo (it has only one video file).

Best regards and Happy New Year,
Béla Gyebrószki
