The problem results from introducing MAP_NORESERVE in 1.5.19. That's
the reason the same code works on 1.5.18. Your code simply defines
MAP_NORESERVE to 0 under 1.5.18.
The message you see is from a call to VirtualProtect, which must not be
called on reserved pages (which is MEM_RESERVE'd, which is, funny
enough, the Windows define equivalent to Linux' MAP_NORESERVE). I fixed
that in CVS.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is a bug in your application. You can't rely on being able to
access memory mmap'ed with MAP_NORESERVE. This might succeed on Linux,
but it's not guaranteed. It certainly doesn't work this way on Cygwin.
Call something like `mprotect (addr, virt_size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE)'
before accessing the mmap'ed memory.
Thanks for the testcase,
Corinna
