Nobody?
I have played around with the example, and when I force the filename 
used to open the mapped_file to something like "toto", the example 
fails! Like if the example would only work on the particular filename 
used in it. But the filename of the example does not work in my code. I 
really don't understand what's going on here, can someone help?

Subsidiary question: Who is maintaining this library?

Thanks for your help.
