After spending some more time in Google, and trying various search |
| 14 |
terms, I finally stumbled over the following... |
| 15 |
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dosemu/+bug/216398 |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Summary... |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
* temporary workaround; as root, issue the command... |
| 20 |
sysctl vm.mmap_min_addr |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
* the sysctl command has to be re-issued after every reboot. Add |
| 23 |
vm.mmap_min_addr=0 |
| 24 |
to /etc/sysctl.conf for it to be set properly every reboot |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
That should be safe until the next sys-apps/baselayout update. |
