The mmap() isn't the problem.  Its the allocation of a buffer that is
larger than the file in order to hold the result of deflating the file
before it gets written to disk.

Wasn't this already fixed, at least in some cases?

I guess I'll have to do a update.

But: latest tag (1.7.3.1) doesnt build:


   CC read-cache.o

Is my libc too old ?

Those lines are accessing members called st_ctime, i.e. with an "e" at
the end, but your errors just report "st_ctim". What gives?
