--- Comment #11 from bugzilla at biechl.net ---
Thing is, in windows the injector does work. Memory allocation seems to be
handled differently in windows, so Wine does something different here. That the
application does not work is a result of that.

I understand that inverting the memory allocation may not be a proper overall
solution, but maybe there is a better approach that, in the end, is also more
closer to "the way Windows is supposed to work"? :)

Here is what one of the developers of the said binary says about the problem,
and why it can't be worked around, maybe that helps:

> Since branch instructions have a range that is smaller than the address space
> on 64-bit operating systems, we need to allocate a buffer that is adjacent to 
> the game's code, called a "branch trampoline". Without that, the game's code 
> and our DLL's code may be located too far away in memory to branch directly to 
> each other.
> Either WINE's loader is not supporting ASLR and loads executables at a very low 
> address all of the time, or the functions for querying the state of memory are 
> not implemented correctly.
