It did not work with 0.9.22 already.  Sorry for the messy README,
if you have not read it in its entirety, the long story possibly
was too long.

But if an initial set_mapsize() causes crashes further on, then
this is a design i do not understand.  I mean, i have found
workarounds (leaving off code) which work stable since one year in
two weeks from now, on musl as well as GNU C libraries, and
Matthias Andree tested on FreeBSD and Solaris, if i recall
correctly, and so it is ok for me.  That is all i know.
