I'm not sure they were really overlapping as much as "the ELF sections
were in a bad order and we don't do the whole "optimize loading"
thing.

It's one of those things that *might* be fixed by first creating a
"simplified/combined map of the ELF sections", and them using mmap()
on that simplified one. But that code is nasty and hairy.
