If you create a file and seek to someplace else without writing data and then try to map those holes, your system is surely to crash, as your program does. Also there is a problem if you try to mmap() a file with one process and then another process mmap() that file with a different non-page offset, your system will freeze after you quit and do some swapping activity.
