[Bug 16068] New: 'failed to map segment from shared object' error where virtual memory is limited with ulimit or limits.conf

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16068

Summary: 'failed to map segment from shared object' error where
                    virtual memory is limited with ulimit or limits.conf
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.4
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ntdll
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

If the user who you run wine as has a limit on the amount of virtual memory
they can use (set directly through ulimit -v or through as - address space
limit in limits.conf) wine will not work. The error message is:
wine: failed to initialize: /usr/lib/wine/ntdll.dll.so: failed to map segment
from shared object: Cannot allocate memory

Removing the limit on virtual memory works around this issue.

I'm not sure if this is a wine bug at all. Wine needs to emulate a complete
Windows memory layout. Perhaps the mmap patch in
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13335 helps but I don't think this is a
wine bug.

Wine always uses the entire 3gb address space, restricting the amount of VM
will break wine.
