Some results, unfortunately not promising.  The next step will be to try the 
kernel patch as well, maybe over the weekend if I find a spare hour or two

I was able to decrease it to 0x8000 and it appeared to run as before.  The 
situation didn't improve but no further errors were reported.  I am not sure 
if this is due to the mmap of System Heap failing and therefore we never get 
to test this properly or whether we can indeed lower the base value.

This certainly does change things - it breaks it even more :-)

Running any wine-app fails with the error message

wine: failed to initialize: /usr/local/lib/wine/ntdll.dll.so: mmap of entire 
address space failed: Cannot allocate memory
