All I know is that keeping track of anon areas is not the way
I would approach the problem.
Even if you get anon areas to work, they bloat up the common
case just to possibly make swapping a little big quicker.
I mean, it didn't degenerate to Solaris fork+exit latencies or
anything like that (that would be a huge challenge :-), but it did
show up quite noticably in the tests I had done at the time.
