ISTM both the previous coding and this version can fail for no good
reason, that is what if GetLastError() happens to return one of these
error codes as a result of some unrelated failure from before this
subroutine is entered?  That is, wouldn't it be a good idea to
do SetLastError(0) before calling CreateFileMapping?  Or is the latter
guaranteed to do that on success?  I don't see that stated in its
man page.
