Re: [Linux-ia64] IA32 process segfaults on exit

Michael-

Um, I think I found your problem and I'm pretty sure it's program
error.  The test case you sent effectively does:

	fd_zero = open("/dev/zero", O_RDONLY);
	m = mmap(0x10000, 0x10000, ..., fd_zero, 0);

This mapps zeros to loation 0x10000.  What makes you think that
the address 0x10000 is free?  On an IA32 machine the Run Time LoaDer
is loaded at 0x2aaab000 so this location, strictly by chance, is free.
On Trillian the RTLD is loaded at 0x4000 (actually, it's the first
page boundary) so you've mapped zero's on top of RTLD.

I'm really curious, why do you think 0x10000 is free?
