I have a Windows app that runs in DOS emulation mode and shows the same
problem, which I fixed by adding these two lines to /etc/sysctl.conf

# Sets a value required by WINE in DOS emulation mode.
vm.mmap_min_addr = 0

This is currently running OK in RedHat Fedora 16 using kernel
3.3.0-4.fc16.i686.PAE but, of course, it will only help if your program
normally uses such low addresses. As I've been using it since kernel 2.6
it doesn't seems to have any bad effects on Linux in general.
