Suggestion: cleaning up the address space.

[Colin McCormack]

Hello,

Under i86, Linux, glibc maps itself to the magic address 0x40000000, and 
dynamic loads grow up from there.

It would be more useful if dynamically loaded libs were to be allocated at the 
very top of the available address space, and grow downward.

This would open up the rest of the address space for contiguous allocation, 
which would be a Very Good Thing (TM).

Colin.
