Protecting a bss segment doesn't make sense.
The address and the "---p" flags make me suspect your executable might
actually be wrong, so I suggest you check the binary with something like
readelf -S.

None at this stage - the actuall allocation would happen lazily when
a page is touched first which of course doesn't ever happen in your
case.
