I just wanted to follow up on the problem I had the other day. I tried out the 
new 4.5.8 release and it doesn't exhibit the same symptoms. It runs the check 
and determines that I don't have a working C stack overflow, but without 
using up all the RAM.

Is this normal for a Linux system? I'm running a Glibc-2.3.1 system with a 
2.4.18 kernel.
