 As I said before, it also has severe problems with memory protection,
causing every second program to crash immediately, notably my login shell.

 Since mh3 was quite ok and only mh4 crashes it must be either the 'fselect
doesn't need spl7() anymore' patch, or the story with sticky text segments.
Since I doubt it's the first one, I presume it's the second one. The thing
I don't understand is that I understood it that way that all this is only
enabled if an executable has the sticky bit set on execution. None of mine
has is, but it crashed anyway. It's even more mysterious as not all programs
crash, but I fail to recognize a rule in there.
