Ah, that's good to know, I'll definately need to use that (lxc seccomp
patch is what I'm really working on).

Interesting!

An ubuntu quantal instance.  I've looked through the kernel source for
the current quantal kernel and haven't seen anything, but heck maybe
it's an appormor+no_new_privs interaction, that rings a bell.  I'll go
look for that.

The original code was an lxc patch which checked every return code,
and they were all passing, so I don't think that's the problem - but
I can give it a shot :)
