The command _astcosmiccal_ claims that the _--quiet_ option can be used to
hide the memory map warning. However, it does not appear to work:

$ $ ./bin/cosmiccal/astcosmiccal --quiet --properdistance --oradiation=0.0
--omatter=0.3 --olambda=0.7 --H0=70 --redshift=1


========= WARNING =========
Minimum size to map an allocated space outside of RAM is not set, or set to
zero. This can greatly slow down the processing of a program or cause strange
crashes (recall that the number of files that can be memory-mapped is
limited).

On modern systems (with RAM larger than a giga-byte), it should be fine to set
it to 10000000 (10 million bytes or 10Mb) with the command below. In this
manner, only arrays that are larger than this will be memory-mapped and
smaller arrays (which are much more numerous) will be allocated and freed in
the RAM.

     --minmapsize=10000000

[This warning can be disabled with the '--quiet' (or '-q') option.]
