it returns EINVAL on NetBSD - Linux's behavior could well be different.


I wasn't very clear.

Yes, EINVAL is returned by NetBSD - but this is a bug itself. The API uses
unsigned lengths, so -1 isn't a bogus value (well, perhaps it is actually,
if you consider the fact that buffer_start + 0xFFFFFFFFul) >= process space
end address, then EINVAL is legitimate).
