Hmmmm, what exactly are you asking here... what libraries they are ?

Interesting, when I run pmap on my system on a gtk+ app (I ran devhelp and
gtk-demo) I dont get any permissionless segments...

Note also that the addresses reported by pmap appear to be virtual memory
(memory adress aliases used by the process), I dont see how a 32K segment
of permissionless memory is ever going to get "page faulted" into physical
memory.
