:no, there is NO reason why it wouldn't map the entire 50meg file...

I would compile the program -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes. If you get
warnings maybe the problem is that you've missed some important #include
files. Many system calls take off_t arguments, including mmap, and
without the correct prototype the compiler will not generate a good
argument stack.
mmap'ing a 50MB file definitely works. I run several databases which use
mmap() that are several hundred megabytes in size.
