Description

​https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mc/+bug/181034
The bug was caused by mmap behaviour when length = 0. Here is quote from man(3) mmap:

SUSv3 specifies that mmap() should fail if length is 0. However, in kernels before 2.6.12, mmap() succeeded in this case: no mapping was created
and the call returned addr. Since kernel 2.6.12, mmap() fails with the error EINVAL for this case.
