This is what I get when I try to run one of my windows apps:
err:virtual:map_image Standard load address for a Win32 program (0x00400000) not available - security-patched kernel ?

How do I get Wine to work:

I've found that some programs work fine under Wine.  However, some do
not.  If you need to run a bunch of Windows programs then you may have
to disable the security features.

This also appears to be true for programs like Xine which load Windows
DLLs.  For example, Xine will segfault 9 out of 10 times trying to load
Microsoft's wmv codec DLL.

Disabling exec shield seems to work in some cases (e.g. with Xine):
 echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield

Thank you

After getting you message I searched and found some additional information.

1) prelink -a -u

2) Modify 'PRELINK_OPTS' in '/etc/sysconfig/prelink' to be :
       PRELINK_OPTS="-m --no-exec-shield"

3) prelink -a -m --no-exec-shield

4) reboot

Now wine works again. :-)

I don't know if prelink is working, but nothing seems to be loading or working more slowly.
