Ok, I've tried that, with several different numbers and I either get something 
like:
wine: failed to initialize: /usr/local/lib/libwine_unicode.so.1: mmap returned 
wrong address: wanted 0xc350000, got 0xc3bd000
or just the normal:
wine: failed to initialize: /usr/local/lib/wine/ntdll.dll.so: mmap of entire 
address space failed: Cannot allocate memory

Any other suggestions?
