Casper,
Thanks for your response. I know that MAP_FIXED is dangerous; in fact the
starting address is picked by autoconf and not encoded in the program.
This approach fails only under Solaris -- Linux, HP/UX, and Windows
support it. The address picked by autoconf on my user's system is around
0xef7....
What I still don't understand is: why isn't the memory where libc is
loaded protected? If I mmap an already mapped address, or if I mmap
below the brk address, the mmap fails. Why isn't the same with libc?
