Ion,
Thanks so much! That totally fixes it. My test sets now run with  
identical results on OS-X and FreeBSD 7.0 (only two platforms I'm  
working on at the moment).

I'm slightly disappointed in performance, but this is the first time I  
have used mmapped files heavily and I have barely begun to profile or  
optimize the code. I may be back asking some advice or opinions when I  
have a better grip on what is happening.

Thank you for Christmas present, I hope you have a good holiday,

Andy
