Did the fork perhaps happen _before_ , so the pages are shared when
you do the pin?
MADV_DONTFORK doesn't mean COW doesn't happen. It just means that the
next fork() won't be copying that memory area.
That said, it's possible that the test cases do something invalid - or
maybe we've broken MADV_DONTFORK - and it all just happened to work
before.
So it's possible the breakage is exposing some other bug..
