I watched the syscalls with strace and my assumption was confirmed.

function Fpmmap( start: pointer; len: size_t; prot: cint; flags: cint; fd:cint; 
offst: off_t ):pointer;

My offst value for fpmmap is $100000000.

strace output:

mmap(NULL, 1920000, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED|MAP_32BIT, 3, 0) = -1 
EINVAL

Here the value is 0.

It is likely that the offst value is stripped to 32 bit before passed to the 
mmap syscall.
