mmap strangeness in 2.4.22

[Richard B. Johnson]

I have a shared memory segment called 0xdeadface,
shown below.

When active, readable, writable, etc., it shows up
in /proc/NNN/maps as (deleted). How/why would this
be?

Also, `cat mem` in any /proc/NNN subdirectory returns
"No such process" when `cat` tries to read it.


Output from cat /proc/MYPID/maps:
