number of sections in core dump are more than the mmaped

I am trying to debug a kernel module. I have a piece of code to get the number of maps in a process:

    static int tmp_func(void){
      int count = 0;
      struct mm_struct  *mm = current->mm;
      struct vm_area_struct *map;
      down_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
      /* 1. just counts maps ... */
      for (map = mm->mmap; map ; map = map->vm_next) {
         count ++;
      }
      up_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
      printk("tmp_func,count: %d\n",count);
      return count;
    }

It returns 28. when I check the core dump there are 32 loads:

I checked and found out that load 3,21,22,23 are not counted in my code.

I got the full content of all sections. Here:

    load3: has libgcc_s.so.1
    load21 and load22 were not there
    load23: nothing meaningful (seems to be a Hash Section)

I am wondering what could be the reason.

info: x86_64, centos 5.7, 2.6.32, GCC 4.1.2.

[edit: my application here is a for loop with a printf and a sleep]
