BUG#17917 - SELECT from compressed MyISAM table crashes MySQL server
Retrieving data from compressed MyISAM table which is bigger than 4G on 32-bit box with mmap() support results in server crash. mmap() accepts length of bytes to be mapped in second param, which is 32-bit size_t. But we pass data_file_length, which is 64-bit my_off_t. As a result only first data_file_length % 4G were mapped. This fix adds additional condition for mmap() usage, that is use mmap() for compressed table which size is no more than 4G on 32-bit platform.
