Subject[PATCH][TRIVIAL] mmap.c corner case fix
    Hi Marcelo :)

    This patch fixes a corner case on the mmap() syscall.

    The patch is from David S. Miller, not me. My patch was
incomplete and did nothing on 'big TASK_SIZE' architectures.

    The patch is against both 2.4.20 and 2.4.21-pre, is just the same.
Please apply. I sent you the incomplete patch at pre-1 and this bug
is getting older by the minute ;))

    Thanks :)

    Raúl
