Problem with virtual memory rlimits

Hi,

I am having a problem with virtual ulimits/rlimits.

If you limit the virtual memory size using "ulimit -v 1400000" for
instance, wine will only crash.

The problem is, that VIRTUAL_alloc_teb() tries to allocate a memory
area within the acceptable userspace ... but it does so much mmap()s
that it runs out of available mmap space before.

I was only able to reproduce this on AMD64 machines up to now, 
which pass out memory starting from 0xf7fffffff somewhere.

Any clue how to solve this?

Ciao, Marcus
