Test works if you use addr + 65536 or addr + sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE), as another
thread reminded me about mmap region alignment to 64KB boundaries.
$ ./mmap_fork_stc
I am master 1888
nmap() = 0x6fffffe0000, hint_addr = 0x0
nmap() = 0x6ffffff0000, hint_addr = 0x6ffffff0000
I am worker 5168
worker exiting
master exiting
Perhaps mmap() should round up/down address arguments to this alignment when
they should be treated as hints.
