>Description:
Access to files via mmap may return incorrect data, or may cause core
dumps. This is probably just the symptom of some underlying fs problem.

# mount -t null /var/tmp /mnt
# cd /mnt
# echo ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ > f
# tail f
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
# echo 0123456789 > f
# tail f
ABCDEFGHIJK# cat f
0123456789
# cd /
# umount /mnt
>Fix:
Unknown.
