Hi,

/usr/src/tools/regression/p1003_1b/p1003_1b doesn't compile. its because
MAP_INHERIT mmap flag was removed . Is there any use of this flag? If
not it
should be removed from the man page. If there is some we might consider
implementing it... Linux doesnt seem to know this flag and NetBSD it
ignores

also - we have minherit() system call which seems to do the same thing.

btw: what was broken about 4.x implementation of vm inheriting?
