I tried using pagemap to verify the patch but it triggered BUG_ON
checks. Perhaps I am using the interface wrong but I would still not
expect it to break in this fashion. I tried 2.6.24-rc4-mm1, 2.6.24-rc5-mm1,
2.6.24-rc5 with just the maps4 patches applied and 2.6.23 with maps4 patches
applied. Each time I get errors like this;

Just using cp to read the file is enough to cause problems but I included
a very basic program below that produces the BUG_ON checks. Is this a known
issue or am I using the interface incorrectly?

exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

if (mmap_offset == -1) {
perror("fseek");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
