Modified files:
lib/libc/sys mmap.2
Log:
Document that the documented 2GB mmap limit is actually a
documentation bug. We switched to page indexes some time around
FreeBSD 2.2. The actual 'len' limit is the maximum file size or what
will fit in your address space, whichever comes first. It should be
possible to make 1TB files on 32 bit systems, but of course address space
runs out long before then.
