The problem is that to avoid buffer overflow attacks, RH/Fedora loads libraries
in the low part of the memory, but most windows programs require to be loaded in
the high part of the memory (Linux sees windows programs in wine as libraries).
There is a fix in the current CVS version of Wine, you may want to try and
upgrade. It is reported to work, but you must have both prelink and exec-shield
ON.
