In sigtrap_threads(), the return value of mmap() is checked against NULL. mmap() returns MAP_FAILED, which is (void *)-1, not NULL, when it fails. Since MAP_FAILED is non-zero and non-NULL, the condition "p == NULL" will never be true on failure, causing the program to proceed with an invalid pointer and segfault if mmap() actually fails under memory pressure.
