Below is a warmed up version of a patch originally done by Werner Almesberger
(see http://tinyurl.com/25zra) to replace the MAX_MAP_COUNT limit with a
sysctl variable. I thought this had gone into the tree a long time ago but
alas it has not and as luck would have it, the hard limit bit someone today
once again with a large app on a large machine.
Here is a small test app:
