wine users - Mar 2005 - Can't run program; exec-shield or prelink active?

I have a large installer program (~400MB) that fails to run under wine
(20050310).  It gives me the following:

err:virtual:map_image Image was mapped at 0x60640000: standard load address
for a Win32 program (0x00400000) not available
err:virtual:map_image Do you have exec-shield or prelink active?
wine: could not load L"C:\\WebPACK_71_fcfull_i.exe" as Win32 binary

The thing is that I don't seem to have either (exec-shield or prelink). 
The /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield entry isn't present, and prelink isn't
intalled.  Other programs run fine.  What's the problem?

Thanks

The EXE is too large to fit into the address space area for some reason.

I'm not sure what would be blocking it. Possibly you have some other
kernel patch enabled which is causing that chunk to not be free.

I will see if I can fix it in the preloader.

Actually, before I submit it does this patch fix your problem?

selfextracting zip- or rarfile. maybe you could just
try to first unrar/unzip the file . regards
