it's not PaX but ssp (stach smashing protector). |

it's a bug and you should file a bug, preferably upstream. the problem |
| 15 |
is that the call to regexp_match_grab() will fill in the matches array, |
| 16 |
except it's too small because there's no room for the NULL terminator |
| 17 |
(the regexp will match the 4 octets of the IP address, so the array |
| 18 |
should have 4+1 elements, not 4). |
