For some random backup info:

  madvise() exists on a 2.2-STABLE machine I have, and per the
  manpage: HISTORY

     The madvise() function first appeared in 4.4BSD.

So I expect you'll find it or something like it on most platforms...


Oh, and Hi everybody, from another representative of the group that
finds time to read and post far too rarely :)
