Very nice. I had a feeling this must have been investigated before,
albeit not necessarily to that depth.

Actually, I did partly and already noticed those 'advice's around the
mmap code. While testing I've been relying on my distro's packages
though, until I have a clear idea on a reasonable upgrade path.

So right, the collectd daemon I've been running was linked against 1.2.

Thanks a lot, looking forward to checking that stuff out,
R.
