This stands for anonymous memory, and if you have enough rights to
access the task this ftruncate is the last problem (since having ptrace
access to the task I _aready_ can trash various stuff inside, i dont need
even bother to look into map_files/ or whatever). So I don't see how
ftruncate migh harm you here?
