Re: CONDUIT latencies (fwd)

David,

It appears that AIX has the same problem with mmap files so _MAPRGNS was
defined for that system.  I'll include it in the release to be defined for 
Linux. There's a formal 5.0.8 release announcement coming up at the LDM
workshop. Good job.

Thanks,
Robb...

According to the autoconf macros in the file "aclocal.m4", this is one
of the things the configure-script sets when on an AIX system---and
it's been that whay since day 1 of LDM5.  Apparently, there were
memory-mapping problems on that system as well and Glenn accounted for
them.

I say do it.
