There were alternative methods to do that same thing, but they were 
removed from OSX when Apple switched to Intel. However, there is a 
method to reenable /dev/mem and /dev/kmem, but it requires a reboot 
to become active. That ofc will lose all my mapfile data :-(

I wonder if putting it to sleep would help, as that saves a copy of 
memory for the restore?
