Glibc is fine; it's the kernel that needs a fix (I've sent it here already once or twice). We might possibly consider putting a workaround into glibc as well. The problem is mmap() fails if a non-zero preferred address is given but the space is already occupied and no space *above* is available (space below is not taken into account). A glibc workaround might be to call mmap() again with no preferred address specified this time. -- + Maciej W.
