idk though
Thank you! This was very helpful and I can see why it is a clever
idea to not allow it (and I love that OpenBSD was the first
introducing it!!) and I love security stuff ;)
However, even with "mprotect" or If I just use "PROT_READ" and
"PROT_EXEC", it still doesn't work so there should be something
else I'm doing wrong...
