I used all of the patches, if some aren't needed, please let me know and I'll
try that.  That may be the problem.  BTW, I'm using the standard minesweeper,
notepad, and freecell programs from 95 to test wine with, and they ran fine
with older versions of wine without taking up all my swap.  So I don't think
it's bugs in the programs I'm running. :)

I'm running 3.2-stable, here's my uname -a (sorry I forgot this last time):
