Michael, 
	What have you been working on?

Like 8 months ago, I promised to look into NtMapViewOfSection. Well,
Friday I finally did, and like the book says, it can mmap() on page-boundries,
and not just 64K boundries. I've been reading the LINE mmap.c code, and I'm 
starting to understand what it's doing. 

Hopefully later next week, when I get back from San Diego,  I'll have a patch 
that ditches the cygwin mmap() and lets LINE manage it internally.  

I'll also probably have to redo a lot of the memory management stuff - it looks
like memory is managed with a big array, with one byte per 64K chunk. Maybe
it's time to steal the page table code out of Linux...
