mmap() with the MAP_PRIVATE mapping type and the PROT_WRITE
protection mode, always fails in MapViewOfFile() with the error
of INVALID_PARAMETER (on Win95) or ACCESS_DENIED (on WinNT).

In this case, mmap() passes FILE_MAP_WRITE | FILE_MAP_COPY to
MapViewOfFile() as its access mode. But according to the
Platform SDK Documentation, it should be either FILE_MAP_WRITE
or FILE_MAP_COPY.

If its access mode is FILE_MAP_READ | FILE_MAP_COPY,
MapViewOfFile() works well against the document. I guess it
picks FILE_MAP_READ only.  The following patch is based on this
guess.
