Yeah, which is a constant problem when you ask "why am I out of
memory". Same thing happens if you have any other (non-mmap'd) pages
and then you fork, or if two processes are using the same executable
(though I think that's actually mmap again), etc, etc, etc. Tell me,
which process is responsible for libc being in memory? Other than,
like, all of them?
