This could become problematic if the app holds some slices to the MMF 
and the 2nd open maps to a different memory address. In this case all 
references to the MMF are invalid.

I saw that it's possible to specify an explicit address but it seems 
not to be ensured that this address is used by the OS.

Going to do some tests to see if this holds or not. Returned values 
from the MMF (even index offsets) of course stay the same and are valid.
