Many, many thanks delphij+so for applying the latter change so quickly!

Also it is great to see INHERIT_ZERO was added to mmap(2)!

(It will avoid the overhead of a getpid(2) syscall on every call to
arc4random_buf(3) to determine if reseeding is needed.  That wasn't
guaranteed reliable anyway;  if you have forked twice, then by
chance/manipulation the new pid *could* be the same as the ancestor's).

Thanks!
