D29832 doesn't work. D29832 addressed the *already solved* stack gap issue 
in ntpd. The problem people failed to realize was that it wasn't stack gap 
but PIE. Enabling PIE regardless of the stack gap sysctl setting always 
resulted in the error. Ultimately a sledgehammer approach was the only way 
to address it.
