The correct solution here is to shrink the size of the WINE_DOS area.

It's obviously causing problems with DLLs that want 0x40000000-0x4010D000.
WINE_DOS uses 0x00001000-0x40001000: the change is SO small, and it would
assuage thousands of users. (google "Sim City load failed", "Alice load
failed", and "awc.dll load failed", and look at the pageviews to see how may
users are punished by this bug).

Shrink the WINE_DOS segment to 0x00001000-0x40000000 (or 0x00001000-0x3fffffff
inclusive, really) and let us move on.

Fix this issue now, and punt on the problem until it comes up again. And it may
never come up again, or it may come up on a different platform.
