Summary: test_mmap failling on AIX

Initial Comment:
test_mmap is failing on a flush while trying to do:
  Copy-on-write memory map data not written correctly

The problem is that the mmap is opened with 
ACCESS_COPY.  This translates to MAP_PRIVATE.  
On AIX, the msync man page says:  "When the 
MS_SYNC and MAP_PRIVATE flags both are used, the 
msync subroutine returns an errno value of EINVAL."

I'm not sure what the correct fix should be.
