WINEDEBUG=+virtual under "new wow64"

Application goes into an infinite loop under new wow64 but works okay under old
wow64

I have an application that enters an infinite loop under "new wow64" but works
okay with "old wow64". Running under actual 64-bit Windows is okay too. The
problem seems to be caused by application logic which calls VirtualAlloc()
repeatedly in order to (presumably) find out the maximum available amount of
memory that the application is able to allocate.

The first hint that this might be somehow related to memory were the error
messages reported when running under "old wow64" :

01a0:err:virtual:map_view anon mmap error Cannot allocate memory, size
0x80010000, unix_prot 0
01a0:err:virtual:allocate_virtual_memory out of memory for allocation, base
(nil) size 80000000
01a0:err:virtual:map_view anon mmap error Cannot allocate memory, size
0x78010000, unix_prot 0
01a0:err:virtual:allocate_virtual_memory out of memory for allocation, base

0x74010000, unix_prot 0
01a0:err:virtual:allocate_virtual_memory out of memory for allocation, base
(nil) size 74000000

Running the application with WINEDEBUG=+virtual showed the
NtAllocateVirtualMemory calls that are made by the application, starting with a
size of 0x7fffffff, exploring a number of different sizes, and then eventually
settling on 0x701f0000 :

01a0:trace:virtual:NtAllocateVirtualMemory 0xffffffff (nil) 7fffffff 2000

The application makes the same calls under "new wow64", but since none of those
calls ever fail, it seems to get confused, reaches size=0, and then gets stuck
on that size :

2000 00000004
016c:trace:virtual:NtFreeVirtualMemory 0xffffffffffffffff (nil) 00000000 8000

It then loops on the call with size=0 indefinitely and keeps running until I
kill the wineserver.

Unfortunately, this is a proprietary legacy application so I can't share it,
however I'll be more than glad to accept pointers on which debug channels to
activate, any other further debugging steps, or changes to the code that might
fix this.

Thanks in advance.
