So you always get the correct answer. I suspect that adding msync() calls would wipe out any speed advantage for using memory-mapped I/O. And since speed is the only advantage to memory mapped I/O and because there are many disadvantages, I don't see a use-case for trying to make mmap work on OpenBSD. -- D.
