In that case, let me revise my earlier proposal: ADDR_HEAP would apply to the entire heap, current and future. ADDR_STACK would alter future behavior (both for main stack and by invalidating stackprot as previously mentioned, for thread stacks), but for the sake of gcc trampolines and the complex

Or you can file a bug and wait until Solaris 11 Express to push for a fix. It's not like someone would fix your bugs right away with the way things were before Oracle. I still have bugs filed from years ago that haven't been fixed in ON. Like any other OS, if you want your bug fixed, it has to
