I admit I was wrong. The patch was incomplete. sys_obreak should
be also modified to avoid the problem you pointed out.
Probably uvm_map_findspace will help, but modifying sys_obreak
won't be accepted either ("If it ain't broke, don't fix it").

Conclusion: the only solution to Wine problem would be to maintain
NetBSD specific patches in pkgsrc tree.
