Did you actually confirm that the ulimit change worked? by default for
users it will remain limited to 1024 unless you edited the limits to
allow a user to increase it. And I wouldn't necessary assume that this
actually changed anything to allow other software to work either. There
could be other reasons.
Before this is labeled as a bug in wine, you need to either
a) Confirm that after running 'ulimit -n <newlimit>' for the same user
that you are starting wine with has actually worked
b) Increase limits correctly for your user
Run the following just before starting wine:
# ulimit -Hn
P.S. Sorry about taking so long to respond.
