Not to mention that both N.AES and Atari AES 4.x seem to "rely" on the
bug that a child always has full access to its parent's memory. That's
why I introduced the new MPFLAGS variable for mint.cnf, where you have
to explicitly enable the bug fix, as you wouldn't be able to use an AES
if I made a simple fix :(


Ciao
