Is then a send-pr to remove the MAP_INHERIT description from mmap(2)
manpage the best we can do?  Now it says the following:

     MAP_INHERIT       Permit regions to be inherited across
                       execve(2) system calls.

Perhaps this should be changed to something along the lines of the
following?

     MAP_INHERIT       This is supposed to permit regions to be
                       inherited across execve(2) system calls,
                       but is currently broken.
