1	I use a program called miro a lot, but since upgrading to gcc-4.3.3,
2	it segfaults if I don't issue:
3
4	echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/pax/softmode
5
6	In dmesg I get:
7
8	grsec: signal 11 sent to /usr/bin/miro.real[miro.real:19177]
9	uid/euid:1000/1000 gid/egid:100/100, parent /usr/bin/miro[miro:19176]
10	uid/euid:1000/1000 gid/egid:100/100
11
12	and since miro.real is a python script:
13
14	# paxctl -m /usr/bin/miro.real
15	file /usr/bin/miro.real is not a valid ELF executable
16
17	Can I run miro without keeping PAX in softmode?
