I've got a small patch that gets by the initial problem about not being to 
mmap the memory for the libraries, but the addresses that are mmap'ed seem to 
seem to overlap with memory that the current pthread implementation want to 
mmap for the "red zone" when wine tries to create a thread.  It can't mmap 
the "red zone" addresses since all those address mapping where gobbled up 
before the thread launched.
I'll try to figure out a way to maybe leave a space for the "red zone" and see 
if that works.
Someone who actually knows what they are doing should probably take a look.
