So far everybody is concerned with disallowing this situation, and generating
some error. But why sould it be disallowed? Why can't it be solved with
some option to the program-loader, for instance a new magic that is NOT 'demand
loaded'. I am not sure that the sticky bit is enough to solve the problem
now, because it is possible that some pages werent paged in yet, and
would cause problems later when they are asked for.
