A program which cannot cope with that is broken by definition. Emacs's internal lisp data types depend upon the layout of the upper bits of an address, and what that looks like. It uses bits which can never be set as a place to store typing information codes. If you look in GNU emacs, it does do special things when the glibc malloc is being used to prevent it from using mmaps for example. This restriction has been around for ages and we've been coping with it by making emacs see something consistant there. Or is there some other issue? Later, David S. Miller davem@redhat.com
