This appears to be the problem, the mmap() failing. I've no idea why
this wouldn't work. My initial suspicion was that the page size on arm
is different, and somehow 16384 is not a multiple of that, but I checked
a couple of arm/armel systems I have access to, and page size was 4096
on all of them.

(Sent a few questions & test programs to Deepak off-list, nevertheless)
