Ive been running it  (without mmap) just fine.  Maybe your problem is 
ram/swap?  For awhile, on a smaller machine, my ram+swap totally only 
128MB or so (40ish ram, 80 or so disk swap) - after much chasing it 
became obvious that this was not sufficient - so I added 512MB of swap (I 
know that sounds large) and my troubles went away.
