SubjectRe: the mmap() problem, a'la "grep x /dev/zero"

I tried once again (with 1.99.13):

circe:meskes 105) grep x /dev/zero
grep: memory exhausted

It allocated much more memory than it should. I had a limit of 4MB, but the
size went up to 12MB (5MB resident). Also I was able to run the memtest
program on 8MB despite datasize limited to 1MB. Hmm I have to check the
sources to see what happened. And my program with a global definition of
'char a[128MB]' still dumpos core.
