Your source isn't correct.

At this point you get a size, probably > 0.

Now you create(!) an empty(!) file.

And at this point you're trying to mmap a file with size 0 by
giving a filesize > 0.

But your example shows that the error code returned by mmap is
not correct. It should be EOVERFLOW. I will change that for the
next version.
