That makes sense. However it works on solaris/aix/hpux/linux. -> If there
is an overlap with memory used by "mallocs/memorymanager/..", your get a
different address than requested.
Maybe the bugreport should be moved to "manpage bug" as it shouldn't be
allowed in general to mmap to specified address on FreeBSD (!?)
