Just a brief status update on my work on PAX_USERCOPY. I've ditched my
first two attempts at doing somewhat simple minded cut'n'patch and am going
to have to take a more engineering (e.g. understanding what's really going
on) approach. The good news is that I've made enough mistakes to think
there aren't that many left for a project this size.
