And the server appears to have a rudimentary "mmap cache". I think it
has one mapping, which is set to "map ahead" at creation, beyond
immediate needs. When it gets a request to map beyond the current
mapping, it discards the current mapping and makes a new one.

At least that's what I think happens. Somebody must have written it -
it looks debugged and solid - but I don't recall doing it!

I tried making amore sophisticted mmap cache over the weekend. It is
surprisingly hard.
