I close it and then immediately try to mmap() it, and a get ENOMEM. However I do have the VM space available and can malloc() the size of the file right after the failure. Also, I have mmap()'ed other similar files in the same program before this, but these had not just been closed. My initial guess was that it was timing related, but if I wait for 5 seconds and try again I still get the failure. I wasn't able to duplicate it in a small example since my app has a bunch of threads and is doing other stuff at the same time. Any suggestions for solutions or workarounds? Maybe strategic use of fsync() ?
