Without loocking at the details, I still cannot understand why
this code part is reached.

For me there are only 3 ways for this:
1.) You have disabled USE_MMAP at the beginning of stream.c
2.) The file is bigger than MAX_MMAP_SIZE (currently 32mb)
3.) mmap() failed for some reason (should give syslog entry if
run in debug loglevel)

Regards.
