wine application uses all of my memory
Hi...I'm using BackTrack linux for a class I'm taking and using a program in wine that is just using all of my memory. Any ideas on how I can limit this program from using all of my memory. I'm on a mac running vmware fusion 4.0 and have backtrack 5r1 as a vm

But before you do, why are you running Wine in a Linux VM, when you can just run Wine directly on Mac OS X? Yes, it does work. I use it myself. (See http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX .)
In fact, why are you even bothering with Wine at all? Nine times out of 10, the right solution (as I've said in elsewhere) is to find a native program that does what you want on whatever OS you're running, rather than messing with Wine--especially on Mac.

That's not a Wine question. Ask the BackTrack guys.Hi...I'm using BackTrack linux for a class I'm taking and using a program in wine that is just using all of my memory.

Is there a free trial version of that program?
Are you even allowed to name the software in question (ok, just kidding)?
Did you test the same program under a native Linux without any VMs around, will there be the same memory consumption?
Does the same issue occur, if you run Ubuntu or opensuse in VMware Fusion and use wine?

You probably should get a more current wine version, 1.3.30, and I assume you don't want to compile yourself, so you should get a binary fitting to the distribution. I don't know, what Backtrack actually is, seems a mixture between debian and Ubuntu, therefore I'd propose to install a mainstream linux like Ubuntu or opensuse for some tests, for them you can get easily binaries.
about "linux version":
What I wanted to say, if you have (access to) a linux installed without any VMs or other virtual machines stuff, will the program behave better when run with wine? Maybe the VMware stuff is interfering with wine's memory management.
