Re: 1.7.0 CVS mmap failure
Real quick here and I'll follow up tomorrow. I don't get SIGSEGV
in my application ever. I get an error back from mmap saying it
cannot allocate memory when i'm simply trying to open a small
file! The original events ere posted up in that first part of
the strace - which is unmodified original behavior. Things did not
start happening UNTIL the MEM_TOP_DOWN change.
My code does not do ANYTHING out of the ordinary that it wasn't
doing before and working completely fine with.
