Hey guys.
I would just like to point out that the above, combined with the "all 
alignments" requirement from the wiki means I'm essentially 
brute-forcing string.h functions. While I generally dislike the idea, 
it's a.. thorough approach.. I guess. As a slight remedy I'll "brute 
force" with smaller buffers, and only do basic tests with huge ones. I 
hope that won't miss the point then. Will report how mmaping more than a 
single GiB goes (1 is what I have).
Good night,
