Fw: Re: Why do these mprotect always fail?

[w6b7rk5yu4mt25v3 <w6b7rk5yu4mt25v3@protonmail.com>]

PAGE_SIZE is just a naming conflict. If you change it to something else, JIT_PAGE_SIZE for example, it still fails. The problem is Cygwin is not fine with the particular value 4096 but the program needs the value to be exactly 4096. About why I also sent to developer list, see:

https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-developers/2020-July/011913.html

https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2002-January/068158.html

This problem is well known at least.
