Which map file is this?

Although the patch seems fine I must admit that I don't fully
understand why it is necessary. Isn't an array (name) not always
constant? You cannot assign anything to an array name since it is a
contant pointer to the first element. Or is that not what this "const"
is about?
Thanks,
