Please check the NSData.h header and Foundation release notes for Lion.
Because mapping files on non-local drives (which may be disconnected or removed
at any moment, resulting in a crash if you attempt to access parts of the file
that haven't been faulted in) is unsafe, NSData on Lion has changed the meaning
of NSDataReadingMapped to be a "hint" (see NSDataReadingMappedIfSafe). It will
only map the file if it detects that doing so is safe.
If you are willing to accept the risk of mapping "unsafe" files, simply pass
NSDataReadingMappedAlways instead of NSDataReadingMapped.
