+Summary: memory map fakes unknown allocations, which is very misleading
+
+This bug was originally reported in the Debian BTS:
+http://bugs.debian.org/222073
+
+"The memory map of a process shows the allocations for the process, the amount
+and status of the allocation and the inode/file/library to which the
+allocation is associated.
+
+In the case of inode #0 (unspecified owner) the memory map window lists a
+random(?) owner for the allocation instead of empty or unknown, which is
+very misleading if someone doesn't check pmap or /proc/PID/maps and try to
+report allocation bugs based on the result."
