[New-bugs-announce] [issue2111] mmap segfaults when trying to write a block opened with PROT_READ

[Thomas Herve]

New submission from Thomas Herve:

Basically, the write method of mmap objects check the state with
is_writable, which check the writability with the access attributes. But
the mmap object can be opened correctly specifying the rights with
prot=mmap.PROt_READ.

Attached patch corrects the problem by setting access to ACCESS_READ
with prot is set to PROT_READ, with a test.
