// variety of ASLR modes (PAE kernel, NX compat mode, etc) and on macos
// 10.6 and 10.7.
// For our 32-bit mmap() hint, we pick a random address in the bottom
// half of the top half of the address space (that is, the third quarter).
// Because we do not MAP_FIXED, this will be treated only as a hint -- the
// system will not fail to mmap() because something else happens to already
// be mapped at our random address. We deliberately set the hint high enough
// to get well above the system's break (that is, the heap); systems will
// either try the hint and if that fails move higher (MacOS and other BSD
// derivatives) or try the hint and if that fails allocate as if there were
// no hint at all (Linux, Solaris, illumos and derivatives). The high hint
// prevents the break from getting hemmed in at low values, ceding half of
// the address space to the system heap.
