The description I got from the engineers was that the crash occurs when 
glibc attempts to write to a segment mapped readonly.  Maybe the 
map-readonly feature is only enabled for certain kernels, but I don't know.

Did you try the 10-line testcase program in the URL?  What was the result?

usually comes from bad judgement.
