I've been following wine-devel for a while, and I think the consensus is that it is Wine's fault. Last I remember reading about it was a couple of months ago, and I don't think the fix ever went in.

Sounds to me like it's WinRAR's fault, but WINE's problem. What happens if I try to make a bitmap 99*10^99999x99*10^99999?

It will fail on win32 as well - out of memory.

Here's the bug:

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3573

Here's the link to the last email about the patch:

http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2005-November/042893.htm...

From the thread:

"This patch is a rewrite of the imagelist handling to not use a Nx1 grid, but a NxM grid with M definable in the source (currently 4)."

"What Wine saves to stream is not binary compatible with windows. To make it compatible it has to be 4xN bitmap."

Someone asked about the status of this back in February, but got no reply.
