Hi,
I am sorry to intrude in this thread. But I think there is a vulnerability in 
macos caused by ftruncate. For instance running the following code abruptly 
crashed macos (mojave and catalina).

```
from multiprocessing.shared_memory import SharedMemory
shm = SharedMemory(name='test-crash', create=True, size=1000000000000000000)
```
This is being tracked at https://bugs.python.org/issue39584 
<https://bugs.python.org/issue39584>.
Could please comment whether this should be fixed by python, or we should wait 
for a macos fix.
