I've also tested it on debian etch (kernel 2.6.22-2-686).
Unfortunately, the same patch seems to cause some displacement of the frames, starting with the first captured frame, when using the "any" interface.

So by "the same patch" are you referring to Paolo's patch to add mmap functionality, rather than to your bug-fix patch? (That patch looks like a typo fix, to make the macro use its parameter rather than some other variable, so I wouldn't expect it to introduce a problem.)

Yep.
It was a self-reply to the following quote:

Sorry, I wasn't aware of the ambiguity...
