As i said a small kernel patch can be done to fix the return value. The problem is that many free software use MAP_ANON with MAP_PRIVATE or with MAP_SHARED (Apache for example). Thus the patch risk to prevent the good behavior of these software. So the patch have to wait maybe the version 2.7 or 2.8 of the linux kernel. You may ask kernel devels. -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2007 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
