Yup you're right it was pilot error. I needed to get the code/text/etc. 
running up at a high address and thought that this might be possible on 
xxxbsd or linux. No dice. I've used other os'es that let you do this, so read
too much into the various man pages. ah well. I got to the needed 
capability a different way. 

Thanks!
