Turns out that Allegro 5.0 is trying to read /proc/<pid>/maps (in
fact, /compat/linux/proc/<pid>/maps) and NOT /proc/<pid>/map.

I wonder what the difference in functionality is between FreeBSD
/proc/<pid>/map and Linux /proc/<pid>/maps.

I suspect that once we get by this problem we'll run into other
problems.  I think ACL 5.0 uses more of the low-level features of
Linux, such as threads.
