- We've run into what looks like a bug with AIX 3.2. A file is mmapped, then
- the contents are written to another file. If the other file is a simple file,
- everything works just fine. However, if the other file is a raw device (like
- a tape drive, which is the real goal), the write fails, complaining about a
- bad address. Anyone have any suggestions before I call this one in to
- Defect Support? (And yes, the same program works fine on other systems that
- support mmap).
