     When malloc() is based on mmap(), free() can sometimes call munmap().
     munmap() usually succeeds, but fails in a particular situation: when
       - it has to unmap the middle part of a VMA, and
       - the number of VMAs of a process is limited and the limit is
         already reached.
     The latter condition is fulfilled on Linux, when the file
     /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count exists.  For all known Linux versions
     the default limit is at most 65536.
