https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=210830 describes an
issue where mono crashes on startup with later kernels that have
exec-shield enabled. I don't see this on my Core Duo machine, so I don't
know exactly what machines see this. Anyone else see this?

Mono does use mprotect to make the heap pages executable. Is there
something in exec-shield prohibiting this for some machines? If so, is
there a way to disable this for the mono binary?
