Is then a send-pr to remove the MAP_INHERIT description from mmap(2)
manpage the best we can do? Now it says the following:
MAP_INHERIT Permit regions to be inherited across
execve(2) system calls.
Perhaps this should be changed to something along the lines of the
following?
MAP_INHERIT This is supposed to permit regions to be
inherited across execve(2) system calls,
but is currently broken.
