Looks like I've to write a bug report to trolltech... it was true for Qt < 4.3.
Thiago, we had a discussion about this a long time ago (imho when 4.3 beta was out and I wondered why kbuilsycoca suddenly crashed).

No, it's my own implementation and works very well when a handle != 0 is passed...

It works, but without mmap support for win32 (e.g. mmap() is called but returns -1)
