No, that was not the question.  W/o ftruncate(), _referencing_ the memory
becomes a problem (and the original code did not do that, but simply mmap'ed
two files).

(note "with or without ftruncate()")

And I ask again (last time, I promise), how on Earth adding <unistd.h> to
the code below would make the code suddenly working?  (Like I said before,
that code worked for me, with -Wall showing nothing, from the very beginning.)
