#define MS_ASYNC 1 was taken from my /usr/include/bits/mman.h . The msync  manpage does not define the sync behavior of the function when neither MS_SYNC nor MS_ASYNC are set; it probably defaults to safe. In any case, since MS_SYNC is an already-defined constant (four), defining it to 0 is highly misleading. I thought it was bad style to import system headers in Wine code. :)

In any case thanks for the response, I'll submit an improved patch.
