Okay i get you. As i said a small kernel patch can be done to fix the return value. The problem is that
many free software use MAP_ANON with MAP_PRIVATE or with MAP_SHARED (Apache for example). Thus
the patch risk to prevent the good behavior of these software.
So the patch have to wait maybe the version 2.7 or 2.8 of the linux kernel.
You may ask kernel devels.
