Hi Gary,

My details below may be a bit sketchy but it means that each library is made up
of four parts -

* The read ony executable part (r-xp) is the text section, containing the
executable code.
* The no permissions (---p) part is (probably...?) kernel specific (something to
do with faster syscalls?).
* The read only non-executable part (r--p) is the data segment for static, read
only data and the bss.
* The read write part (rw-p) is for dynamic data that the library uses.

The 'pmap' command gives this info in a slightly easier to read way.

Hope that helps,

Mark
