The above is bogus code since rslt will be equal to either 1 or 0
depending on whether mmap failed or not.

Please provide a real working test case which can be cut, pasted,
compiled, linked, and run, if you want help.  The theory is that,
if you want help, you reduce the barrier of providing the help as
much as possible.  Providing buggy examples isn't going to do that.
