On other systems, no problems. On Cygwin, crashed with segmentation fault. I was right. Not the application's bug, but Cygwin's quirk (I called it as a quirk but not a bug, because it's a limitation of the platform).

SMOP: YMMV
Round up the page size yourself and allocate that value if allocation round up 
not supported on platform or version.
I think if 1 byte is mapped, access to byte 2 should be SEGV/UB/)\;`a__!

For small amounts of Windows interoperability with MS "Linux".
May be useful for comparing compatibility, but so are VMs, with fewer MS "quirks".
