             Bug #: 30307
           Summary: Memory Allocation severely limited when running wine
                    executable via condor scheduler
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.4-rc6
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: jbherman at gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


memory allocation problem: symptom: ~300MB allocation denied on an ubuntu linux
box with 8GB running wine1.4 (also tested wine1.5).

I've created a simplified test case taking advantage of the memory test program
contributed here (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=32366). I compile it
via: 

#i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -O0 test-mem.c -o test-mem.exe 

thereby creating a windows executable that runs under wine. The test program
successfully allocates memory (malloc) up to 1408 megabytes, which (while
disappointing) is completely expected and about as much as I can get in 32bit
windows.

THE PROBLEM: run the same executable via the condor scheduler
(http://research.cs.wisc.edu/condor/) and the largest allocation is 448MB!! I
have extensively investigated the issue and posted on the condor-users list, to
absolutely no avail.

I need to provide my 32-bit windows program with as much memory as possible.
WHAT TO DO? any thoughts/help appreciated.

thanks, jason
