           Summary: 'failed to map segment from shared object' error where
                    virtual memory is limited with ulimit or limits.conf
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.4
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ntdll
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: tkedwards at fastmail.com.au


If the user who you run wine as has a limit on the amount of virtual memory
they can use (set directly through ulimit -v or through as - address space
limit in limits.conf) wine will not work. The error message is:
wine: failed to initialize: /usr/lib/wine/ntdll.dll.so: failed to map segment
from shared object: Cannot allocate memory 

Removing the limit on virtual memory works around this issue.
