We saw this behavior with 2.5.59 also. The attached work around should
take care of the problem temporarily. Last time this happened, IA-32
programs were doing mmaps, whose size was one page bigger than the
size of the underlying file (even after rounding up the file size).

I never got a chance to figure out why glibc was doing mmaps with the
"wrong" size. Also, I failed to reproduce the problem with a more
recent (RH 8.0) glibc.

Which version of IA-32 glibc were you using ?
