Ok... I debugged into the library and found that you have stumbled upon 
a bug in the code. A prior call is setting the last error which some 
subsequent logic depends on. At line 198 in mapped_file.cpp.

This triggered a recollection... so I searched in the bug database at 
http://svn.boost.org/trac

It turns out this was previously reported as Ticket # 699 where it 
suggests a solution and some related issues.

See: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/699

No idea.
