Yes, seven of the 52 references to mmap in the strace output met
the above criteria: 

  old_mmap(0x4015f000, 12288, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 3, 0x142000) = 0x4015f000
  old_mmap(0x40170000, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 3, 0x9000) = 0x40170000
  old_mmap(0x40180000, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 4, 0x9000) = 0x40180000
  old_mmap(0x40191000, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 4, 0x10000) = 0x40191000
  old_mmap(0x4019c000, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 4, 0x7000) = 0x4019c000
  old_mmap(0x401a0000, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 4, 0x3000) = 0x401a0000
  old_mmap(0x401af000, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 4, 0xe000) = 0x401af000
