Yes, here is an extract from /proc/self/maps in this process:

00400000-10421000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0

As you can see, not only is the load area slightly larger than I'd
expect, but it has been mmapped with greater permissions than I asked
for. 

I will go read the glibc sources and pester the glibc guys instead. Many
thanks for your help.
