:Now I've got to go figure out what *I've* screwed up. I fstat the file before
:mapping it and pass S.st_size as the map length. Is there any reason why
:mmap would return non-NULL but map less than the requested size?
:
:Scratching my head,
Note that mmap() returns (void *)-1 when an error occurs, *not* NULL.
This is because it is legal to mmap at address 0.
