I tried it just now, and it seems to work fine -- it continually maps
and unmaps the same block of memory, with no net growth.

_Not_ uClinux, right?  I.e., your processor has a MMU, doesn't it?

What version (or date you got it from CVS) of uClibc are you using?

Can you run `strace' on the process (you'd better get rid of the call
to `write' first, so the strace log doesn't fill up with calls to
write)?
