exec_shield is one such feature, and newer kernels use something like, uh, /proc/sys/vm/randomize_... (I don't remember the particular name right now and don't have a Fedora active). The latter loaded executables' memory segments into randomized locations to make buffer overflow attacks less predictable. exec_shield could be gotten around with using setarch i386 make and configure does that already IIRC. But the address space randomization was prohibiting the dumping even with the setarch command. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
