[gentoo-user] {OT} wine won't work

[Grant]

I've tried wine-1.1.4 as well as the latest version from git.  No
matter which wine command I try, the error is always just about the
same:

# winecfg
err:heap:HEAP_GetPtr Invalid heap (nil)!
err:heap:HEAP_GetPtr Invalid heap (nil)!
err:module:attach_process_dlls "KERNEL32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for
L"C:\\windows\\system32\\wineboot.exe" failed, status c0000005
err:heap:HEAP_GetPtr Invalid heap (nil)!
err:heap:HEAP_GetPtr Invalid heap (nil)!
err:module:attach_process_dlls "KERNEL32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for
L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winecfg.exe" failed, status c0000005

I've tried deleting .wine and I've tried running as a normal user and
as root with the same results.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

This was due to some of the hardened stuff in my kernel.  Most likely pax.

c0000005 is Windows' way of saying SIGSEGV.
PaX might be to blame.
I remember that with grsec enabled, wine couldn't create stacks and
said that 3/1 user/kernel split needed to be enabled even when 3/1
user/kernel split was enabled.
