wine segfaults on 2.6.18

Hi,
I'm using custom kernels and i have just upgraded to 2.6.18.
The problem is that wine segfaults with this new kernel.
I tried 2.6.17.13 and that one did work. I think this is going to be serious when 2.6.18 hits current. Does anyone know what to do about this?

I disabled VM legacy support and now it works again.

set "vm.legacy_va_layout = 1" to "vm.legacy_va_layout = 0"

Don't ask me why this worked

Why?

Just kidding, I guess wine changed the way how it works. It probably doesn't need this backwards compatibility layer anymore.
