Thanks for looking this bug and patch. But XFree86 has also this kind of problem. Pax uses a file which lists program names to avoid this issue. So is this ok to apply this patch for glibc? Or should exec-shield users be aware "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield"? Regards, -- gotom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
