Basically, the write method of mmap objects check the state with
is_writable, which check the writability with the access attributes. But
the mmap object can be opened correctly specifying the rights with
prot=mmap.PROt_READ.

Attached patch corrects the problem by setting access to ACCESS_READ
with prot is set to PROT_READ, with a test.

Fixed in r60830 (trunk)

Martin, is the fix a candidate for 2.5.3, too?
