Bug in interrupt handling in FileChannelImpl.map( … )

Sure, no problem. There are a couple of oddities to note in the test…

1. It doesn't actually end up mapping anything. I'm intentionally trying
to extend the file from zero length to length one, when the file is
read-only.  This way I pass through the nested size call, but don't
actually end up mapping anything.  Seemed to me like this was the simplest
way to test exactly this bug and nothing else, and also avoid all the
windows specific mapping behaviors causing any problems.
2. I'm not closing the file in a finally block because when the code is
broken the locking will block the close call, hence I'm only closing on a
successful run.

Thanks,

Chris
