This shouldn't cause any problems. The only way this would cause a problem is if the program had direct system calls in it, but as long as they are using libc(what self-crcing program doesn't use libc?), the changes would only be made to code pages inside libc, so the program's own code pages would remain untouched. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
