Could you try with this:
 def setUp(self):
     with open(support.TESTFN, "wb+") as f:
       f.seek(_4G)
       f.write(b"asdf")
       f.flush()
+      os.fsync(f.fileno())
       self.mapping = mmap.mmap(f.fileno(), 0, access=mmap.ACCESS_READ)
HFS+ doesn't seem to support sparse files, so the file is actually
zero-filled asynchronously.
Maybe the mapping gets done before the blocks have been allocated,
which triggers a segfault when the first page is accessed.
I'm not sure it'll make any difference, but I'm curious...
Also, I'd be curious to see the result of
"""
import os
name = '/tmp/foo'
f = open(name, 'wb')
f.seek(1 << 32)
f.write(b'asdf')
f.flush()
print(os.fstat(f.fileno()))
f.close()
print(os.stat(name))
"""
Thanks !
