Following Leo's recent changes, several tests have been failing under Fedora due to exec-shield, so I have gone ahead and committed the mem_alloc_executable functions, based on Jonathan's rewrite of my original patch.
Note that mem_alloc_executable now takes interpreter; this is only actually needed by PANIC, and could therefore be removed; however, it seems likely that with the forthcoming memory allocation system redesign, this is likely to be a required parameter anyway. Jonathan, please advise if you want any changes made per your discussions with Vladimir Lipsky (or if Win32 is now just plain broken, as I do not have facilities to test it) Regards Peter Gibbs EmKel Systems
