Here's more news about the issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=550736

So, as you see, it is a matter of interference between Pulse and Wine. It is fixable by, as suggested by a comment replacing
{ (void *)0x00110000, 0x6fef0000 }, /* low memory area */
with
{ (void *)0x00110000, 0x3fef0000 }, /* low memory area */
in loader/preloader.c in Wine's source.

The consequences in terms of Wine usability? I am not sure if there are any. Maybe we should ask Alexandre why he commited that patch?
