Package: kfreebsd-5 Hi.
ELF loader /lib/ld.so.1 is mapped in memory at address 0. $ cat /proc/self/maps 00000000-00012000 r-xp 00016000 00:00 94246 /lib/ld-2.3.so 00012000-00013000 rw-p 00001000 00:00 0 08048000-0804c000 r-xp 00004000 00:00 94294 /bin/cat 0804c000-0804d000 rw-p 00002000 00:00 0 0804d000-0804e000 rwxp 00002000 00:00 0 2804c000-2804d000 rwxp 00001000 00:00 0 2804d000-28057000 r-xp 0000a000 00:00 73652 /etc/ld.so.cache 28057000-28160000 r-xp 0010e000 00:00 94249 /lib/libc-2.3.so 28160000-28164000 rwxp 0010e000 00:00 94249 /lib/libc-2.3.so 28164000-28168000 rwxp 00004000 00:00 0 bfbe0000-bfc00000 rwxp 00020000 00:00 0 Therefore reading of NULL pointers is not caught. I don't know where is decided base adress for /lib/ld.so.1. Thanks Petr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
