Subject: bug#13964: 24.3; randomize_va_space is back
Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2013 21:07:39 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <877gl9t1vb.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
I ran into this problem:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/35276
This fixed it (it was set to 2):
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
I didn't try setarch -R because I couldn't guess what my arch was to
tell setarch (I tried everything I could think of from "armv7l" to
"ventana").
I'm too lazy to read the whole 2005 thread. Since etc/PROBLEMS doesn't
mention this issue, only the exec-shield one, I guess this problem was
supposed to be fixed at the time -- so why did I see it today?

From IRC debugging:

twb> deliberately dumps core to make the real "emacs".

twb> I get "Warning: Your system has a gap between BSS and the heap

twb> similar is in effect. The dump may fail because of this. See the

twb> System is an arm Ubuntu 11.10 (tegra2), non-standard kernel and

twb>
twb> etc/PROBLEMS says to check /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield -- I have no
