Not really sure if this is specific to x86_64 platforms but, I'm on one so I guess I'll post this here.

Winex3 gives me an error that basically says my current max thread count is 2megs and that some games wont work well without a higher thread count. I've tried playing with the ebuild of glibc to rectify this but, I had no luck...

Specifically, I fetched and unpacked my glibc ebuild. Then, I editted the descr.h file found in the linuxthreads directory and changed STACK_SIZE = (2 * 1024 * 1024) to (8 * 1024 * 1024). After that, I did an ebuild compile, qmerge and install. I don't think it worked at all as Winex3 still gives me the same error.

I read elsewhere that ulimit can be used to set my stack size but, it doesn't look like Winex3 recognizes this.

Anyone know of a way to change my stack size that will definitely work? Thanks.
