I could use some help from the MPS experts in debugging the failing 
test, which is arenacv.  I ran the test under strace and didn't see any 
mmap or munmap failures.  I'm attaching the test log, which doesn't mean 
a thing to me.  I also built an unoptimized arenacv and can run it under 
gdb if someone tells me what to look for.

TIA.
