I encountered a problem with git-log, where the fork() tried to 
reestablish a mmap()ed file, which unfortunately was renamed (since it was 
a .lock file[*1*]). This triggered the implementation of NO_MMAP.

I am sure that there are more problems with it. BTW the problem stems from 
Windows having _no_ equivalent to fork().

Notefoot 1: Isn't it funny that Windows cannot delete files which are 
still opened, but does not care when it is renamed?

Ciao,
