My guess is the call to mmap() is failing and thus retuning MAP_FAILED
(-1), which you then dereference later on.  mmap() is possibly failing
as you're passing a length of '0xff' and not a multiple of a single
page (getpagesize()).  It's always worth checking for failure and then
checking errno - you've probably got an EINVAL:

    EINVAL We don't like start or length or offset.  (E.g.,  they  are
 too large, or not aligned on a page boundary.)

Cheers,

Matt
