Hello,

The NetBSD guide in
http://www.netbsd.org/guide/en/chap-whatsnew.html#chap-whatsnew-2-0 states
that "If enabled, parts of the stack and heap are made non-executable when
they are marked writable."

I guess this feature is permanently enabled. Also, is it true that
non-executability has any relationship with writability?

Bye	Pavel
