But there in no change in size after unmapping the file. However My expectations was drop in size of memory after munmap( ). On more point of interest is there is no growth in memory after subsequent iterations of while loop.
Assuming you are talking about x86, gcc322 has produced the crappiest kernel code ever encountered. Even simple userspace apps got broen by it.
Suggest to change compilers to gcc295 or gcc323+ or gcc331+.
