That is an interesting idea. Especially check, if the "stride" value is
correct. I'm not sure how the mmap-length is calculated, but in case
it uses virtx instead of the stride, which may well be possible, 
I'd assume that it doesn't map enough memory and thus fails.

Did that appear recently ? Andrew recently fixed a bug with stride 
calculation, and that might have triggered the effect.

CU, Andy
