[Mono-dev] {kinda OT} Linux equivalent of Win32 "ReadProcessMemory"...

You might want to first look in /proc/PID/maps which describes which  
memory addresses are actually valid for that process.   Then you can  
start seeking and reading at will.

You still need this information if you are planning on using ptrace(2)  
instead of /proc/pid/mem
