[Wine] Re: Wine memory problem

[Salvador Pedraza]

Hi,

I understand from this thread that is unavoidable that wine reserve big portion of VM (~3.6 GB).

I am using wine on a VPS with Centos 5.2.
My problem is that my VPS is charging my by all VM (among other resources) used by my server.

In my case running a more or less simple windows application is taking more than 18 GB of VM.

This is the top list  (part of it)::

As you can see any .exe process is taking 3.6 GB each.

Any way to force all of them to use the same Virtual Memory space?

Thanks and regards
