I've seen this on Linux before. It was caused by some distro-specific
kernel security option that made the memory allocated for the old space
fail the page alignment check. I don't remember what I had to disable to
get it to work.

Other things that might happen is a kernel security option disallowing
simultaneous write and execute permissions on the old space page or the
address of the allocated space having the high bit set.
