Andrew:

Thanks for answering my questions.  Just trying to get a handle on the
situation.

The mmap readahead cache is noted as experimental.  Since you were getting
error messages from it, I assume that there is a bug in it somewhere, so
you probably shouldn't use it.

I'll continue looking at your issues today.  The first thing that I am
going to do is download the tar ball and run parallel make in my
environment and see what happens.
