Matt, Bruce, thanks!

I've track it down.

Yes, those read-only pages was reused. So now I'm putting them on list
before syscall is called, and after syscall is executed I free memory
for non-execve syscalls and mark entries from list as VM_PROT_ALL for
execve(). I'll play in the future with vm_map_delete() maybe those
pages are removable in safe way.

But why memory allocator, that is responsible for finding pages for
stack don't check their permissions?
