That's what happened.

Actually, we couldn't reproduce this problem with Ubuntu Gutsy. We tried it with a fresh install and one upgraded to the latest versions. If the mmap_min_addr wasn't supported by the kernel, it just got ignored. However we found that the vdso_enabled had a default value 2 and changing it to anything else caused the kernel to hang completely. > So, please add a warning or note that people just don't blindly set these in > their sysctl.conf. Warning has now been added.
