As a (very ugly) workaround, you may allocate most of your system memory in
order to keep only a small amount. I applied this method with success for
Entomorph (an old game suffering from this bug, see
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=25521 ). Here is a
link to a program doing this (with the code source in C and compiled versions
for 32 and 64 bits): http://funkysea.com/?p=114

I hope this is useful for someone, but it is also only a quick and dirty hack:
a better solution would be to have an option to reduce the total available
memory in wine.
