>Yup.  I think somebody said that mmap() is POSIX.  It isn't.  

Are you sure?

       The mmap() function maps process addresses to a memory object.

       IEEE Std 1003.1b-1993, �12.2.1.

       C Format

         #include <sys/mman.h>

         void *mmap(void *addr, size_t len, int prot, int flags, int
                   fildes, off_t off);
     


Googling for "POSIX mmap" comes up with various hits.  But I don't have
the stuff to look up.
