Last time this came up, I believe the response was that PROT_WRITE by
itself didn't make sense to the MMU, which is why the mmap didn't work.

So the question is should a PROT_READ be silently added? I suspect not,
since a program might really want a write-only mapping, which it can't
get.

Take care,
