Well, it appears to run out of memory while initializing wine (just
`wine calc' won't even work), during the loading of the default registry
keys (even before loading my .reg files). So even if it is a mem leak,
it is somewhere within wine, since no program will run.

Yeah, I tried that... But, 4M is the maximum Shared Segment Size on
Linux (so said some man page on the inet. When I increased the size, the
function that allocates the segment [don't remember the name] gave an
illegal argument error...)

I've tried regedit, calc, diablo2 and then concluded that it will
probably break for all applications...
