As far as I could tell when I looked at Cygwin, mmap() was supported
when running in Windows NT (and 2000, I guess), but not in Windows 95
(nor 98, again a guess).

Sometimes I have this problem, and it's usually because the line ends
with (in C syntax) "\\\r\n" instead of just "\\\n".  The pre-processor
apparently doesn't recognize the backslash-carriage_return-linefeed
sequence to be a line continuation.  Solution: convert CRLF line
separators to LF.

I don't know if this is the source of your problem.  Could LFs have
been converted to CRLFs when you edited files with a Windows editor?
