I'm trying a simple program on 1.4P to mmap() some files and do a copy.
The code is below.  gdb says:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x480cba66 in memcpy ()

It's invoked like this:  copyfile copyfile.c foo.c
(thus, trying to copy itself)

This program also seg faults on RH linux gcc 2.7.2.3

It works fine on bsd/os 4.01 with gcc 2.7.2.1

I'm probably doing something stupid.

Thanks as usual for help!  -Mike
