    33This nesting is basically the same as overlapping (with the only difference is that nesting is a complete overlapping, i.e. when the file is entirely mapped twice or more). And we already have a ticket for the overlapping problem, https://github.com/bitwiseworks/libcx/issues/29. This is where it has to be fixed.
