As I said, it was a long shot.  PaX is a kernel patch that implements
non-
executable memory, and some other protections against buffer overruns and
related exploits.  The methods it uses disagree with some programs,
requiring the use of paxctl and chpax (depending on how the executable
was built) to mark the file so that protection is disabled for it.
