The last time I looked the XFree86 loader couldn't handle addresses over
4GB properly. NetBSD-amd64 therefore uses mmap() to allocate memory in
the first 4GB for loading modules inside the X11 server.

Is the difference between the new and the old malloc() in FreeBSD perhaps
that it now returns address above 4GB?

	Kind regards
