On a local Gentoo Linux box mmap(2) says in the ERRORS section:
EINVAL We don't like addr, length, or offset (e.g., they are too
large, or not aligned on a page boundary).
EINVAL (since Linux 2.6.12) length was 0.
EINVAL flags contained neither MAP_PRIVATE or MAP_SHARED, or contained both
of these values.
Sure looks like a length of 0 is disliked.
