idata5 must be writable, because it contains the addresses of imported symbols. cegcc currently places them in .rdata. The system happily accepts that and fills in the addresses of imported symbols, but under memory pressure the page can be evicted (it's "rdata" after all), and when it is loaded back from storage the address of the imported symbols on this page are gone.

The problem is only visible under memory pressure, when the application suddenly starts to crash when calling library functions.
