Mmap and/or the page table code has also changed for the better since
the last time I tried my mmap test. I can now mmap 127.50 TB .

Now I'm not brave enough to try to read past the end of my mmapped
file. I'm assuming it allows the mmap to extend past the end of the
underlying file but will hit one with a SIGBUS if one actually tried
to access it?
