Hey Michal,

Missed this thread, my apologies. This problem is happening only with
certain binaries like 'sed', 'tmux', 'hostname', 'pkg-config' etc. As
you had mentioned before the map request collision is happening on
[10030000, 10040000] and [10030000, 10040000] ranges only which is
just a single PAGE_SIZE. You asked previously that who might have
requested the anon mapping which is already present in there ? Would
not that be the same process itself ? I am bit confused. Would it be
helpful to trap all the mmap() requests from any of the binaries
and see where we might have created that anon mapping ?
