Thanks. None of the URLs seem to be helpful, anyway.
Please avoid posting URLs without any indication as to what
specific conclusion you like to see drawn from the page.

It seems that Solaris 2.6 just doesn't have explicit support
anonymous mmap explicitly. As a consequence, ctypes, in its
current form, just can't run on it.

A solution might be to map /dev/zero instead. Contributions
are welcome.
