"Error mapping file into memory"?

[Joshua Root]

Poor phrasing on my part sorry: I should have said that mmap sets errno,
but macho_parse_file currently has no way of returning that extra
information to its caller. It should be possible to insert a perror call
or similar to get a more specific message (though it could end up being
EINVAL which can be returned for at least four different reasons - still
that at least narrows it down).

So a debug kernel may be a bit drastic at this stage, but worth keeping
in mind. :) Also kernel messages may not be a bad idea to look into even
if it's just by having Console open when the error occurs.
