    Well I guess this is my lucky day. Apply the attached patch for vm_mmap to
    your kernel and patch the August wine sources with the wine-mmap.patch and
    compile and install wine (be sure to use gmake). This is working on my dev
    system with 6-CURRENT as of Saturday night.
    The wine mmap patch just doesn't reserve the DOS area so DOS programs may not
    work. This seems to just work around a side effect of the kernel mmap patch.
    I still think that the kernel mmap patch has issues so I'm hoping Alan can
    give us some feedback.
    Anyway this worked for me, YMMV.
