should be:

def get_view_size
  mbi = [0,0,0,0,0,0,0].pack('LLLLLLL') # MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION
  VirtualQuery(@address, mbi, mbi.size)
  return mbi[12,4].unpack('L').first # RegionSize
end


Then, in MMap.new, I have this:
>

>   @address = MapViewOfFileEx(@mh, @access, 0, 0, size, @base_address)

> end


should be:

if @open
  @address = MapViewOfFileEx(@mh, @access, 0, 0, 0, @base_address)
  @size = get_view_size()
else
  @address = MapViewOfFileEx(@mh, @access, 0, 0, 0, @base_address)
end


The first issue, I think, is that get_view_size always returns 65536

It seems the memory map in windows aligns 4k boundary.
When created with 20, get_view_size returns 4096
When created with 20000, get_view_size returns 20480.
