So, it isn't the ld-linux.so, it is the kernel on 32 bit i386, where
exec is loading PIE elf binaries in such a way that the heap and the
stack are next to each other and have very little room. About 20% of
/usr/bin/* (and others, like /bin/systemd) on the vivid cloud image is
affected, though in many cases their memory use is too low to cause
problems.

The problem was discovered in the samba test suite, which uses xsltproc
to generate manpages. One of the bigger man pages caused a segfault.


** Package changed: glibc (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)
