Hmmm... I would doubt it until tried... I could imagine that databases
use mmap() havily
and the mmap() of linuxemu is just a hack that that reads the whole
file-mapping in... and writes
the whole thing out again on msync()... thats one reason the startup
time of firefox is so
slow on linuxemu (besides it makes millions of stats/open/access calls
when starting up)

I have seen so mutch programs breaking in obscure ways while hacking
linuxemu... sure,
sometimes you are lucky and it just works... but still dont expect too
mutch...
