That looks like someone is doing heap protection by putting a inaccessible
section between each allocated heap chunk. There might be glibc malloc
debugging trigger of some kind to do that, but I wouldn't think
that would change just for the kernel version, so I'm out of ideas.

I recall that ElectricFence did something like that. But why even bother mapping anything. I would think that accessing an unmapped region would result in a SIGSEGV just as well.
