I've not had any problems dumping emacs with Linus' and Andrew's recent kernels, which default to randomize_va_space=1. It has to be more than just that. The laptop is booted into 2.6.12-rc4-mm2 right now, and I just updated a few hours ago. Unless rh's patch to add randomize_va_space is different that what Linus merged.... -JimC -- James H. Cloos, Jr.
