msync forces synchronization. I am not so sure that mmap'ed pages won't flush 
to disk more
frequently than that, though. Grr. I may just go and add these two silly 
things. It is irritating to 
have to change the implementation to be at the beck and call of POSIX, but I 
suppose that is
our fee for getting into their game.
