That's a significant jump in functionality.
I don't think 2.4 had any memory mapped functionality at all.
If 2.6.18 has any (redhat likes to backport all sorts of things), the
question becomes... does it work? 2.6.18 is 5 years old.
My suggestion is to turn off (in the source code), any of the mmap
functionality, or at least printf() what is being used. I would also
wonder if you are doing technology renewal, why you are stopping at
Centos 5, rather than 6 (or higher?) with a linux 3.0 kernel...
