I was kind of expecting "*default*        0x00000000
0xffffffff" to not be visible in the map file when I was specifying my
own mapping.

Not sure why still included, perhaps could be included if there was
some default mapping performed (and that was just a warning rather
than error)

Best regards, Jon
