Further review indicates that the problem is setting attributes to a
value of zero. I fired up two irb sessions, creating an mmap in one and
opening it in the other. When I do "mm.gvalue = 5", everything works
alright. However, if I set it to 0, I start getting:

ArgumentError: marshal data too short
        from
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/win32-mmap-0.2.0/lib/win32/mmap.rb:335:in
`load'
        from
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/win32-mmap-0.2.0/lib/win32/mmap.rb:335:in
`method_missing'
        from (irb):7

So, looks like a bug in win32-mmap. Disregard.
