Ok, it should be better now.  I forgot to copy the page protection
to the child process.  Vsftpd protects these pages for security reasons
and if the child doesn't inherit this fact, the security is flawed.

There's a better way to get all this but it requires to change mmap
all over which isn't quite what I like to do for now.
