 Yes, indeed, I deal with mmapings and I little play with memory, so
 there is some probability that I little "changed" memory. I asked,
 because someone may bear in mind such change about this assert. At this
 time, this trap do not, seriously, affect my work. Actually I want to
 show changes, but those are too big 140kb of bz2, and I have small
 problems with vacuum.
