It might help to say what system you are using.

From 4.3 BSD PS1:6-11:

	mmap(addr, len, prot, flags, fd, pos)

This call is not actually implemented in 4.3 BSD, it is planned for a
future release.

From Utek 2.3 Command Reference section 2:

	mmap(pid, fromaddr, toaddr, len, prot, share)

This was actually implemented.  I once wrote a program that used it.
Can you say "panic"?

|  Unpredecedentedly stomach-explodingly good examples, in fact.

Attempting to use a program written for one of these on a system providing
the other might explode your stomach, all right.
