Thanks for your reply. Condition checked in your patch is not used in my case 
as    void* indexMem = mmap(0, info->available, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, 
MAP_SHARED, info->file->handle(), 0); returns indedxMem == -1, what's already 
covered.
Sorry for not tracking this down before, but now I can see mmapping is 
somewhat broken not at your level. We already are aware of this and will 
investigate this later.

In the patch below I have:
1. Used USE_MMAP everywhere instead of HAVE_MMAP (OK?)
2. Disabled using mmap for Windows (temporarily I suppose)
3. I've added some fixes so even if mmap is enabled on Windows, the cache now 
will not crash.

Please review.

Please try to post there, I've added rivolaks at hot.ee to the exception filter.
