Crated a File of size 100 bytes less Integer.MAX_VALUE.

1)When tried to map this file region from postion 0. it throws "IOException:The parameter is incorrect" on windows but it doesnt throw any exception on solaris

Parameters passed to FileChannel.map method are as per spec
 mode - MapMode.READ_ONLY
 position - 0
 size = 2147483549 ( less than Integer.MAX_VALUE )
 
2)if the following Parameters passed to FileChannel.map then the Exception message is "Access is denied" on windows ,"bad file number" on solaris , if region to be mapped is 
decreased to 10000, it doesnt throw any exception as in case 3.
 
 mode - MapMode.READ_ONLY
 position - 1
 size = 2147483549 ( less than Integer.MAX_VALUE )

3) doesnt throw any Exception for the following parameters
 mode - MapMode.READ_ONLY
 position - 0/1
 size = 10000
