According to the exec-shield paper, its effects can include revealing
"bugs in applications that assume PROT_READ implies PROT_EXEC" due to the
funky things it does with relocations into the ASCII-armour. Not sure but
it might be worth ensuring mprotect is called afterwards....
Just a random thought, I don't think it'd matter in this case as we use
MAP_FIXED anyway.
