    hmm.  I'm not a big fan of OpenBSD's randomization code.  I'm not
    rabidly against the patch but it is a bit hackish.  It seems to me
    that somthing similar could be implemented simply by having the RTLD
    or LIBC code mmap() a randomly sized dead segment, and not have to
    build anything into the kernel.
