Distro packagers should have a new way to workaround this problem if their system is using the newest procps.

You can place your own custom file to override /etc/sysctl.conf settings in /etc/sysctl.d/

So, here we put a small file containing:
vm.mmap_min_addr = 0

The problem, however, is that this exposes a bug in sysctl - namely, it loads the /etc/sysctl.d/ folder BEFORE /etc/sysctl.conf, making the new folder useless. Hopefully this will be fixed soon: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/256025
