Looking closer, the CONFIG option keeps non-heap address-space

Off topic, but do you need the -n flag? I always just "echo num >
/proc/sys/path" and I've never had a problem, but is there a case where
it matters?
No you don't in fact need it for sysctls -- the first newline is simply
ignored (as is all other trailing whitespace by the way).
When you echo things into /sys (a device id into a driver "bind" attribute
for example) that's not always the case though and my "-n" came about sort
of automatically.
The "proper" way of setting sysctl's is in fact though the sysctl program:
# sysctl kernel.randomize_va_space=0
but hey...
