Comment (by Jason Sachs <jsachs_at_[hidden]>):

 Replying to [comment:1 igaztanaga]:
 > I don't consider this a bug, but a feature. Managing pages on-demand is
 not a feature currently provided by Interprocess and I find difficult this
 to be managed by Interprocess.

 ok but it would help to explicitly specify SEC_COMMIT in the code + to
 mention this in the documentation, so that when deciding the memory
 segment size, one is aware of the resource costs.
