OK, that was a silly bug :/

With that fixed, the following proglet:

#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <malloc.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>

void main(void)
{
	void *ptr[5];
	int i;

	for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
		ptr[i] = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
		*(char *)ptr[i] = '\0';
		mprotect(ptr[i], 4096, PROT_EXEC);
	}
}


Gives:
