commit 0533f80364810fb89b1feac892f9397fffe6ebd0 Author: Howard Chuhyc@symas.com Date: Wed Sep 14 11:31:27 2011 -0700
Add MacOSX support mmap() with FIXEDMAP fails, otherwise things work.
Interestingly enough, it succeeds under gdb. At a guess, address space layout randomization prevents it from working in the normal case. I haven't bothered to dig into this further; as far as I'm concerned MacOSX is a broken OS and isn't worth the time. (google "macosx process shared mutexes" and follow the trail thru semaphores and all the other brokenness if you feel like wasting a few hours of your life as I just did.)
