Hi,
The following patch documents that you can safely close the file.
(You might want to word it differently. I read the POSIX manual just before
writing that, so I had to cook something up that doesn't copy the wording,
blech).
>From reading the mmap section, you can not know that mappings don't require
the file to be open.
Thanks,
Marcus

The @code{mmap} function creates a new mapping, connected to bytes
(@var{offset}) to (@var{offset} + @var{length} - 1) in the file open on
address@hidden
address@hidden A new reference for the file specified by @var{filedes}
+is created, which is not removed by closing the file.
@var{address} gives a preferred starting address for the mapping.
@code{NULL} expresses no preference. Any previous mapping at that
