Quoted from MSDN: "Windows NT/2000/XP: If the file-mapping object is
backed by the paging file (hFile is INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE), the paging
file must be large enough to hold the entire mapping. If it is not,
MapViewOfFile fails."

In other words, you can't mmap() more anonymous memory as your
pagefile has room for.
