SubjectRe: [BUG] Invalid return address of mmap() followed by mbind() in multithreaded context
That's right, but what I want to demonstrate is that the address
returned by mmap() is invalid and the dereference crashes the program,
while it shouldn't. I could equally omit this statement, in which case
mbind() would fail with EFAULT.
