If you read the notes, it looks like this is avoided for everything but 
the first thread. But I doubt we are going to be calling 
pthread_getattr_np more than once per thread. So probably this gets 
called only once per process.

Still, to use fopen for this seems really heavy. I doubt the maps file 
isn't so large you can't fit it in one page, just read once and get the 
data you need.

But it doesn't truly concern me to the point of worrying about it for 
D's sake.
