Here's the latest, -G4 update of the exec-shield patches, against various
kernels:

	redhat.com/~mingo/exec-shield/exec-shield-2.6.0-test8-G4
	redhat.com/~mingo/exec-shield/exec-shield-2.6.0-test8-mm1-G4
	redhat.com/~mingo/exec-shield/exec-shield-2.4.22-G4
	redhat.com/~mingo/exec-shield/exec-shield-2.4.22-ac1-nptl-G4

Changes in -G4:

 - bugfix in the 2.6 patches, certain applications segfaulted when the 
   stack limit was set to unlimited. (Roland McGrath)

 - PIE bugfix: for certain ELF layouts the kernel loader ended up 
   overmapping ld.so resulting in broken applications. (Jakub Jelinek, me)

 - port to 2.6.0-test8-mm1. (Valdis Kletnieks, me)

reports, comments welcome. Enjoy it,

	Ingo
