Mh, i'm not convinced :-)
I do not have execshield (kernel 2.6.4-rc2 with only supermount and reiser4 
patches) or prelink. The strange thing is that it MUST be a kernel problem
because:

[root at fucklandia maurizio]# wine
wine: failed to create the process heap
[root at fucklandia maurizio]# chroot /partitions/mandrake32/
[root at fucklandia /]# wine
wine: failed to create the process heap

/partitions/mandrake32/ is a 32bits only install, and wine (the same 
executable) runs on mandrake32 (with its 32bits kernel).

Thanx
Maurizio
