So that change is basically allowing trinity to munmap just part of a prior 
mmap.
So it may do things like..

mmap   |--------------|

munmap |----XXX-------|

munmap |------XXX-----|

ie, it might try unmapping some pages more than once, and may even overlap 
prior munmaps.

until yesterdays change, it would only munmap the entire mmap.

There's no easy way to tell exactly what happened without a trinity log of 
course.
