When behavior of a glibc function has changed in time, usually (or I should probably rephrase this as "in the most fortunate cases..." :), but let's not be that pessimistic ) the man page specifies that; if it's the case here, it might be good to say: "mmap is used since glibc x.y, malloc was used before".
