There is no failure as of yet. The thing is that I know someone who 
actually NEEDS 3GB, and they asked me to make sure that Wine can support 
that. I am, of course, talking about a Linux kernel that is compiled 
with bigmem support too.

The thing about providing a "proof of concept" is that without running 
it on a bigmem kernel, I don't think there is any way of checking it.
