The pte value above is very puzzling -- it says that the page is not
present, in which case the "writable" bit means PROT_NONE, not writable.
The pte value is tested immediately after dereferencing the page table
to make sure it's present, so I don't see how we could reach this point
without the page being present.

Maybe this is a compiler bug after all ...

Regards,
Bill
