SIGBUS: writing to `mmap`ed device beyond file size

from mmap import mmap

with open('/dev/foo', 'r+b') as file:
    m = mmap(file.fileno(), 1024 ** 2 + 1)

m.seek(1024 ** 2 - 4)

for b in b'hello world!':
    m.write(bytes([b]))

I hope you don't mind my reference to Madagascar

Start by running the provided bug.py reproduction on Linux with a device whose size matches the report, then inspect the mmap write behavior and existing mmap tests. Determine the expected handling when the mapping extends beyond the device size; done means the reproduction is covered by a regression test and no longer crashes unexpectedly.
