What happens to processes with memory-mapped local files if the
local disk fails and starts returning I/O errors when dirty
pages are flushed?  There's a good argument for duplicating this
behavior.  (Programs certainly can't expect more consistency from
a network filesystem than they get from a local filesystem, in
the presence of hardware failures.)

My guess: process core dump.
