Ok, what I mean is that anything (complicated) doesn't appear to run without
generating errors (unable to write to memory page). GCC actually works fine
(in that it completes) but I can't run the result reliably. The two major
things I've tried:

1) GnuChess 4.075 with Xboard 3.40 crashes the moment it leaves its book
2) Samba 1.9.16

I know this isn't a very representative sample, but it seemed that I had
something fundamentally wrong with my setup for neither of these to work
when all the installed sets appear to be fine.
