RE: RH30: Virtual Mem shot heavily by locale-archive...

["Arijit Das" <Arijit.Das@synopsys.com>]

Shared mappings are represented in /proc/<pid>/maps file as having 's'
as its last permission field like r-xs (shared readable and executable
region)

But in this case, the perm bits are r--p which says that it is private
rather than shared. Any idea whatz happening here...?

There is no RH 3.0 for AMD64 - if you mean RHEL 3 then the mappings are
shared between processes.
