Hi
First of all,  thank you for boost interprocess :-)

I have a couple of questions:

1.       When you grow a managed mapped file, the current implementation fills all the new space with zeroes. This is less efficient than just resizing the file. The comments in the code implies there is a reason, so what is  it?

2.       When the size to map is too small, take 1 or 2 bytes for instance, the library fails in a non elegant way. This is a corner case, but I could not find this documented. Is this a bug?

I'm asking this before sending any sample code or creating tickets, but of course I could do that as well if there is the need.

Thanks again.
Cheers Jorge
