Good catch. But that should throw a different error than "resource
unavailable" - I'd expect to get EBADF back for that and it sounds like
he's getting EAGAIN back...
But yeah, that needs fixing too.
A common trick is to fd = open("/dev/zero",.... to get an fd that can
be used for mmap of anonymous space. Linux old-timers will remember
that /lib/ld-linux.so does this - with the non-obvious result that trying to
run a program that was linked against shared libraries would fail in a chroot
even if all the libraries were present, if /dev/zero wasn't in the chroot
as well....)
