or:
start = mmap( 0, (sizeof(int)+FRAMESIZE)*FRAMES, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,...
for(i = 0; i < FRAMES; i++) {
framesize[i] = start;
start += sizeof(int);
}
for(i = 0; i < FRAMES; i++) {
frame[i] = start;
start += FRAMESIZE;
}
...and again, use only one mapping.

OK, you are mapping in both.
I don't know if you are allowed to have PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE in one and
only PROT_READ in the other; John Dyson would be the guy to ask...

The Stevens book is the bible... but that example you might want to
consider most relevent is in the cp code in /src/bin/cp/utils.c.
John: there is still "#ifdef VM_AND_BUFFER_CACHE_SYNCHRONIZED" in that
code... is that right now?

Hey, if it's working, don't fix it.
Also: look in the -current list archive for the mmap() functionality
testing code that was posted a while back...
