In theory that is not possible, if you open the file readonly
you simply can not write to it.  It is not mailutils/mailbox
that is preventing this but the OS since the file was open (, O_RDONLY);
and for mmap(, PROT_READ);
So my guess is, the orginal mailbox was already corrupted
by previous experiences and it was unnoticed.
