[MiNT] Probably bad implementation in Pexec()
Hello
I'm currently looking source code in Mint Pexec (k_exec.c), and for me 
there is a trouble in source code
in
exec_region() there is cpushi((void *) b->p_tbase, b->p_tlen);
That is a good idea except it could be wrong or not enough in some cases.
The case is AES (XaAES, MyAES, OAESIS and probably NAES) with the load 
of accessory (I think this is a bad implementation of load
of accessory), they change  b->p_tbase to put there own init code so 
when exec_region is used the cpushi is not on the code of
accessory but only at is end (XaAES case) or anywhere. The cpushi() 
should probably done after load_region() and  by security I think it 
should stay in exec_region() too.
But probably the best should not have specific code for accessory, there 
is only mother basepage to fill NULL when exec() an accessory.
I'm wrong?
