gossmap: fix OpenBSD crash.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Thanks to amazing debugging assistance from grubles, we figured out
that indeed, my memory was correct: write and mmap are not consistent
on all platforms.  The easiest fix is to disable mmap on OpenBSD for now:
the better fix is to do in-place updates using the mmap, and only rely
on write() for append (which always causes a remap anyway before it's accessed).
