I don't know anything about that, but the scenario is this:

When logged in as user, wine fails with the message below. When I type
ulimit -a it says virtual memory 600000. ulimit -v unlimited cannot be
executed as normal user. This is the same wheter ulimit -v unlimited is
set in /etc/profile, /etc/rc.local or not set at all.

When logged in as root, wine also fails with the same message. When I
type ulimit -a it also says virtual memory 600000. But now I can run
ulimit -v unlimited, and execute wine, and it works.

On my Debian box at home, I just ran ulimit -a as myself. It showed
virtual memory unlimited.


Is the 600000 limit a redhat thing? If so it should be possible to alter
it for normal user as well?
