I guess what alexander wanted to say is that you should test the mmap patch
that got commited to i386 mmap (see
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/i386/linux/linux_machdep.c.diff?r1=1.55&r2=1.56)

and apply that to amd64 mmap and see if that fixes the issue you see..

pls do that and inform us

thnx
