It's present in intrepid.
Someone with rights should triage it.

** Description changed:

  Default value of mmap_min_addr is set to 64kb, which breaks many
  different userland applications, including dosemu, wine and hardware
  virtualisation.
  
  Should be set to zero, as recommended by LKML when feature was
  introduced.
  
  As originally reported by pivo:
  
  """
  When I start dosemu, I get the following, only:
  
  $ dosemu
  LOWRAM mmap: Invalid argument
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  
  I use latest hardy on 3 different machines (both ix32 and amd64), tried the 
console as well as X11, with the same result. The last time I'm certain it 
worked was 2008-03-26. Some dependency must have borked dosemu. Google didn't 
help.
  """

+ 
+ ***WORKAROUND***
+ To fix it temporarily run from console (needed everytime you reboot):
+ $ sudo sysctl vm.mmap_min_addr=0
+ 
+ To fix it permanently:
+ Add this line to /etc/sysctl.conf
+ 
+ vm.mmap_min_addr=0
+ ***END WORKAROUND***
