[issue21810] SIGSEGV in PyObject_Malloc when ARENAS_USE_MMAP

Thanks for the report.

The patch introducing mmap() to limit memory fragmentation was applied initially only to the Python 3 branch (3.2 at that time IIRC). This problem was spotted a couple days later, and fixed: http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/ba8f85e16dd9
I guess the backport to Python 2.7 didn't backport the subsequent fix.

----------
resolution:  -> fixed
stage:  -> resolved
status: open -> closed
