mremap and bus error

Hi,

I playing with mmap. I have a problem with mremap function. It
doesn't allocate correct memory. All others work well.

static void *
mmap_realloc(void *ptr, Size size)
{
Size oldsize;
void *result;
int i;
char *x;

ptr = (char *) ptr - MAXALIGN(sizeof(Size));

oldsize = *((Size *) ptr);
size = MAXALIGN(size) + MAXALIGN(sizeof(Size));

ptr = mremap(ptr, oldsize,
size,
MREMAP_MAYMOVE);

if (ptr == MAP_FAILED)
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_OUT_OF_MEMORY),
errmsg("out of memory"),
errdetail("Failed on request of size %lu.",
(unsigned long) size)));

*((Size*) ptr) = size;
result = (char *) ptr + MAXALIGN(sizeof(Size));

/* check allocated memory */
x = ptr;

fprintf(stderr, "allocated memory %ld\n", size);
for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
if (i > oldsize)
{
*x = 0;
}
x++;
}
fprintf(stderr, "memory checked\n");

return result;
}

log:

I think it's pretty hopeless to try to debug this without the complete
source code...

I am sorry. I am able to write test case, but I leaved it. Simply, I
don't use a function mremap. I searched about it on net, and I think
it is known issue on Linux :(.
