My best guess: The block of memory you pass is in global space. It is
not likely to be page aligned. So when you change to read-only, you
probably change some other global variables to read-only also, and
then something tries to write to them.

To see if that is the problem, use the aligned() attribute (we have
RTEMS_ALIGNED) with the page size.
