Fedora Core 2 Problem:
----------------------
Between Fedora Core 2 test3 and Fedora Core 2 production,
Red Hat turned on a facility to allow user processes to
allocate 4 Gig of memory (instead of the traditional 3G limit).
Unfortunately, this meant that some Windows programs would
get shunted into addresses over the 3G limit, which had never
happened before, and which many Windows programs choke and die on.
This can then cause instability in CrossOver applications on
Fedora Core 2.

We have made a work around for this that should be in version 3.0.1.
In the meantime, you can get around this by running all
of your CrossOver commands from the command line and typing
the following command to start any CrossOver command:

setarch -3 i386 (command)

Note that in your cxoffice/bin directory you will likely
have a command you can use to start your favorite programs
(such as 'winword' or 'excel'). So a typical use might be:

setarch -3 i386 ~/cxoffice/bin/winword

You can also start a terminal and then run all CrossOver
commands from that terminal:
setarch -3 i386 bash
