Hello All,
Sorry to interrupt you.
I have been investigating a problem in which there has been a dramatic
core size (complete program size) of a program running on a IA-64
machine running kernel version 2.4.21-4.0.1 (A redhat advanced server
distribution) compared to other 64-bit architectures like amd64 and
EM64T. There has been an increase of around 20% of the size.
I verified the virtual address mappings in /proc/<>/maps file and
found that several .so files (other segments of same size) are getting
mapped multiple times as follows.

/lib/libc-2.2.4.so
<------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
example /lib/libc-2.2.4.so size 6094859 got mapped 3 times with
permissions 'r-xp' , '---p' and 'rw-p' from the bottom.
I found the similar mappings for all the programs running on a IA-64
machine. Is this some special kernel kind of feature on IA-64 ??
Your kind inputs on this problem are greatly appreciated.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks in advance,
Vamsi kundeti
