That is intended behavior. Wine has "preloader" that allocates all the memory
Wine might need for itself. This is in a way to guarantee that all OS libraries
will be loaded into 3rd GB.
Because all Windows programs are not movable Wine needs to have first 2GB of
address space to itself. Also there are few system structures that have to be
allocated at exact address. Also some of Wine "dlls" needs to reside at the same
place, that is close to Windows.
