Bug ID: 51562
           Summary: wine cannot run with <4GB virtual memory
           Product: Wine
           Version: 6.14
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

if I set the virtual memory limit to <4G wine cannot boot:
$ ulimit -v 3800000 && wine wineboot
...
0090:err:module:relocate_ntdll ntdll could not be mapped at preferred address
(0x230000), expect trouble
...
0098:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Importing dlls for
L"C:\windows\syswow64\iexplore.exe" failed, status c0000135

The same happens trying to run anything:
$ ulimit -v 3800000 && wine a.exe
...
18: 002c:err:module:relocate_ntdll ntdll could not be mapped at preferred
address (0x340000), expect trouble
...
18: wine: could not load kernel32.dll, status c0000135

the relevant error message seems to be about relocate_ntdll not mapped at
preferred address

maybe wine wants to allocate more memory than allowed here
