Why do these mprotect always fail?

[Corinna Vinschen]

cygwin-developers is for developers woking on Cygwin itself, not for
developers using Cygwin to develop something else.  I dropped the ML
from the recipient list.

And please don't top-post.  Thanks.

PAGESIZE is 64K on Cygwin.  If you change that, it breaks and you can
keep the pieces.

It would be nice to send a complete, self-contained STC(*) in plain C,
so reproducing your issue is simple and doesn't require to rework
your code to get a running, debuggable testcase.
