pages each time they are mmap'd - they are only zeroed when contigmem
initially loads.  I will push a patch for this shortly.

So that is the case where we run the app more than once, right?

Correct - it works OK the first time.  The problem only occurs if you run the app
more than once (unless you unload and reload contigmem before running the
app a second time).
