Well, in fact, two things remain not very clear for me :

- Why are mmap()s performed *after* data segment ?
  => It seems they can go within, on GNU/Linux and NetBSD.

- Why do we have such a default value for datasize (8.2, amd64) :

$ limits
Resource limits (current):
  cputime              infinity secs
  filesize             infinity kB
  datasize             33554432 kB

this is HUGE !
