Then the manpage is absolutely wrong:
MAP_INHERIT Permit regions to be inherited across execve(2) system
calls.
I asumed MAP_SHARED alone is suffient for fork!?

It's attached.
Start prog1 and prog2 should see the mmaped memory.
In the complex case I found it the second program wasn't able to read.
In this simple case it is able to read some different value and crashed
my i386-current (4.7.2001) when prog1 finishes.
I can't say if it's also a problem on recent current and the system did
not wrote a crashdump...
