Virtual Pages difference - Spotted with VirtualQuery()

[Massimo]

Posted in bugzilla, I'll add the executable later on, and the patch... But it's not a 
solution, it's only make app believing the page has a different protection flag, 
doesn't correct the protection itself.... Should cause errors elsewhere.
