[llvm-dev] Memory Sanitizer crashes after it calls mmap

[Reid Kleckner via llvm-dev]

If your application is mapped at 0x55555...., then that means you are
running a PIE binary with ASLR disabled. This can happen if you're running
under gdb, which disables ASLR. This particular choice of address space
layout conflicted with MSan's shadow memory.

This problem has been addressed in more recent versions of LLVM:
