Now that is very interesting. I have no idea why, but perhaps it's to do |
| 8 |
with getting Linux's and Wine's memory layout models to coexist in the |
| 9 |
same space. They are mutually incompatible to Wine has to do some |
| 10 |
amazing stuff to get it to work. Perhaps 64 bit presents a saner linear |
| 11 |
memory model than 32 bit and so Wine has more breathing wrong. |

But I'm just guessing actually ;-) |
