an mprotect call was added to fix bug 528. However that results in a buffer
that allows writing and code execution. Ie the no-execute security features of
modern operating systems are defeated this way. Two mprotect calls are needed.
One to make the buffer executable but not writeable when done and another one
to make the buffer writeable again if the content needs to be changed.
