Maybe there isn't a problem with increasing the mapsize on OS X after all, because as soon as you wrote that, I couldn't reproduce the problem.... This would make everything a lot easier.

I tried my test program with a 4GB file. The available capacity goes down by 4 GB on OS X and it took quite some time to write the initial file, so I think the I'll stick with the growth approach for now.

Thanks for the help so far.
