Good to hear. I'd be testing these things myself but I've gotten so confused about which changes are actually in which released versions of which compilers that I wouldn't have any confidence in anything I did. > Some concern has been expressed that the AC_FUNC_MMAP test fails > incorrectly if getpagesize is detected, but does not have a > prototype in <unistd.h>.

Paul Eggert made some changes back in May that attempt to address this: commits 028526149ee804617a302ccef22cc6adbda681b0 and 33c26d2700f927432c756ccf7a4fc89403d35b95. Do you have a minimized test case for the problem (both the original problem and any remaining issues you're aware of are useful to me)? zw
