[Bug libc/2007] mmap seg faults on marginally improper arguments

[bkorb at gnu dot org]

I am reopening the bug for reconsideration.  It may be the case that invalid
args were not the trigger for the fault.  Consider this profile for mmap in glibc:

extern void *mmap (void *__addr, size_t __len, int __prot,
		   int __flags, int __fd, __off_t __offset) __THROW;

against this implementation (from Linux sources for alpha):

asmlinkage unsigned long
osf_mmap(unsigned long addr, unsigned long len, unsigned long prot,
	 unsigned long flags, unsigned long fd, unsigned long off)

I do not know if the arguments wind up getting placed correctly anyway, but they
certainly do not match for the alpha platform.  There should be an
alpha-specific profile for the function that matches the implementation.  I
would like to know if this could be the cause of continued seg faults, even with
corrected calling flag values.  Thanks!
