 Should be fixed by miscfs/genfs/genfs_vnops.c rev. 1.95:
 
 revision 1.95
 date: 2005/02/16 15:25:33;  author: chs;  state: Exp;  lines: +15 -3
 undo the part of rev. 1.93 that turned the past-EOF check into an assertion.
 read() can't request pages past EOF, but mmap() can.  apparently I had
 disengaged the brain when I said that was ok.
