Fixed in CVS. 

Turned out mmap called via __syscall needs an extra parameter that must be 0 (?),
due to stack layout the filedescriptor got passed in this space, which is ok for 
memory mapping of memory, but not for this example.

There is not much one can easily do in 1.9.8 to get it to work easily, since
the 9 param do_syscall call doesn't exist either.

If you can't/won't use CVS, I could see if I can make a quick mock unit with
a working mmap in it for 1.9.8.
