Bug#11756764 48726: MYSQLD KEEPS CRASHING WITH SIGSEGV
WITH MYISAM_USE_MMAP ENABLED MySQL server can crash due to segmentation fault when started with myisam_use_mmap. The reason behind this being, while making a request to unmap (munmap) the previously mapped memory (mmap), the size passed was 7 bytes larger than the size requested at the time of mapping. This can eventually unmap the adjacent memory mapped block, belonging to some other memory-map pool. Hence the subsequent call to mmap can map a region which was still a valid memory mapped area. Fixed by removing the extra 7-byte margin which was erroneously added to the size, used for unmappping.
