I still would like to see this patch committed though, to fix bug 17718, but generally because the memory reservation doesn't fix anything and only causes problems.
That's wrong. Memory reservation fixes bug 16023. Without it most applications fail to even start in FreeBSD 7.0.
You can test for yourself, reverting my memory reservation patch and try to run the Flash Player 10 installer. You can grab this installer there:
Wine wants to allocate a few things in reserved areas, and because there were no reserved areas at all on FreeBSD it failed. That's bug 16023. My patch leaves enough reserved area for Wine to allocate these, but otherwise reservation isn't needed like it is on Linux.
