I think that corresponds to an intentional "hole" in
the address space where attempted access results in
a segfault and no one can map anything new there.

I'm not exactly sure about any of that though. If I
look at some maps files, there always seems to be
one of these ---p regions somewhere in the middle
of each shared library.

You could always guess security geeks are responsible.
They seem to be behind all the inexplicable address
layout stuff :-).
