 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 (!?)
