That means just what is says: wine asks for memory that is not available. And
yes that has changed around that time in that respect.

So make sure you have enough memory, check that there is no "ulimit" on the
amount of memory that a process can ask for and perhaps do a 
"echo 1 >/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory"
