If you don't, and something you do causes the memory manager to move things
around, you could be in for all sorts of nasties; anything from getting bad
data to bus errors that result from referencing addresses that don't exist
to system hangs and crashes. Don't forget to unlock it when you no longer
need it pinned down.
