hipe segmentation fault

Your explanation makes perfect sense indeed, and in search for the 
answer, I did find that HAVE_MMAP was *not* set by configure on this 
machine.

What is see is that if I try to do:

$ rm -fr otp_src_R10B-10
$ tar xzf otp_src_R10B-10.tar.gz
$ cd otp_src_R10B-10
$ ./configure --enable-threads | grep mmap
checking for working mmap... yes

so mmap gets defined fine.  However, if I run autoconf-2.13 in erts, 
mmap doesn't get found:

$ rm -fr otp_src_R10B-10
$ tar xzf otp_src_R10B-10.tar.gz
$ cd otp_src_R10B-10/erts
$ autoconf-2.13
$ cd ..
$ ./configure --enable-threads | grep mmap
checking for working mmap... no

However, when autoconf is being used instead of autoconf-2.13 in the 
case above, mmap gets found all right.

Anyone has any idea why?
