 To calculate the checksum, we first set the checksum's memory area to 0 so
 that we get a consistent checksum value. We can't do this with a read-only
 segment, so verification when we re-open a mapped file in read-only mode
 is a problem.

 Ah, right, I had noticed it but have forgotten to update tickets.

 The revised plan is to validate the checksum at the time of opening
 an existing segment in the read-write mode.  At a higher level
 only the memory manager updates and validates the checksum; other
 applications will simply trust memmgr and open the given segment in
 the read-only mode.
