The problem is is that no matter how you align the thing, if the last byte of the file is the last byte of a page, then the next byte is unmapped. Consequently, when "strlen(3C)" tries to determine if the next byte after the last valid byte is NUL or not, it faults on a bad memory reference. There are several solutions: Punt mmap and just read the file into an allocated buffer. mmap the file then figure out if the last byte is the last byte of a page. If so, then mmap anonymous memory into the fixed address following the last page of the text file. I do this, but it is a real pain. I hate it. :-) Most often, I just allocate and read the file 'cuz it is easier. > Have a look at : http://badcode.be/~descript/.apache/ > > Into function apr_mem_pager() : > if you need 0x2001 (Size). > <snip> > ret = size; // ret = 0x2001 > if((ret%_apr_mem_page_size) != 0) { // 0x0001 > ret -= (ret%_apr_mem_page_size); // ret -= 0x0001 = 0x2000 > ret += _apr_mem_page_size*map->pager; // ret += 0x1000*PAGER > } > </snip> Right. If "size" is 0x2000 exactly, the byte following the mapping will be unmapped and "strlen(3C)" will fault. That's the problem. > You may have a look at apr_mem_remap().

So, if I check the file size and it is a multiple of a page size, then I should ask for non-aligned mapping, otherwise an aligned mapping? Better than messing around with anonymous pages on my own, but still..... Thanks. Regards, Bruce
