Does anyone know how to map memory from two processes ( child and parent)
to refer to the same virtual addresses ?  (i.e I want to have two or more
processes share the same dynamically allocated memory).

I have tracked down mmap and munmap but cannot figure out how to get the
file descriptor of my own core image to pass to mmap.
