Hugh had just caught a lovely piece of idiocy in do_brk() patch; that
call of get_unmapped_area() in there should take MAP_FIXED, not
MAP_FIXED | flags.  Harmless (we do get MAP_FIXED anyway and the only
other flag that gets looked at by methods is MAP_SHARED, which is
ignored when file is NULL), but definitely bogus.

I'll fix that before sending a pull request.
